Not so, the reason she seems so different in Volumes 5 as opposed to 1-3 is because CRWBY made Roman more important than he was supposed to be, which in turn made Cinder more important that she was supposed to be. We were supposed to see the whole Inner Circle in action during the Beacon Arc, but because CRWBY fell in love with Roman so much they gave him parts that he wouldn't have gained otherwise. And that's why Cinder seemed like the mastermind in the Beacon Arc, when it was in fact Salem pulling all the strings. CRWBY realized their error with Roman in Volume 3, hence why he was removed so he wouldn't alter the storyline any further.

So not, it was definitely not to appease the fans, it was to remain true to the original story that Miles, Kerry, and Monty made together.
