Well, there's also the fact that after V3 interest in the show generally decreased. Most people came for cool fights or light-hearted fun and the show wasn't delivering as well as it used to. And then came V5.

Not everyone's quitting the show (for real) but not everyone's as excited either. Even people at the RWBY reddit, one of the most fanatical RWBY places out there, are expressing as much. At least 1 mod over there has even mentioned it as one of the reasons for stepping down.

On a sidenote, I just hope the supposed RWBY Bible is actually useful and informative. Not something mostly-useless like the V2 WoR. And I also hope that it doesn't retcon the show, nor that the show retcons the bible.
