I think that we need to adjust our expectations of RWBY based on its run time (average of 12 per episode, maximum). That means that it is about 1/3 the length, per episode, of any other comparable animé or western animation. Even pre-teen targetted 'toons like 'My Little Pony' and 'The Littlest Pet Shop' are twice its' length in terms of episode duration. Because of this, it is quite possible that we'll never get full explanation of the characters' back-stories or complete world-building because it would just take up too much of a very limited run time. Some things will just have to take on faith.
