I look at this show from an Episode to Episode viewpoint, not as "5 Episodes equal the time of 1 Episode and a half." So far your biggest complaints seem to be the voice acting, the writing, and pacing.

Voice acting: Yes these aren't professional voice actors. However I have seen a few anime or cartoons done by professional voice actors that make me want to rip my ears out. I honestly don't find anything wrong with the voices, except for a few times when someone is saying something somewhat rushed (but that could have been an editing error or they were crammed for time).

Writing: Yes the plot is something we have seen before; you even said yourself that there are only so many plots out there. However even if the plot has been used before, it is the story-teller's job to make that story seem interesting, which to me it has. The use the first episode to set up the backdrop of the world RWBY takes place in and setting up the events of the series. By episode 5, we have a good feel for each character's personality and skill level. I really like the humor as well.

Pacing: I don't think it is rushed. If anything it is kind of slow, but that could just be because they don't want to force us to remember too much information in each episode and fit just the right amount of stuff in each individual one, which I feel they have.

However when it comes to opinions, no one has a definitive right one. I may not have the right one, but neither does anyone else.
