-Qrow got poisoned, and then made a full recovery with no long-term ramifications.

-RWBY got in trouble for stealing a ship, and then were let off the hook and it was never brought up again.

-The Ace Ops were mean to them, ''because heroes should never have an adversary or anything standing in the way of their hopes and dreams. Boo hoo.''

-ORNJ lost the lamp, ''except ORNJ isn't RWBY, soooooooo. . .''

-Yang's mom left, except she never cared or was present to begin with, so what exactly changed?

Now let's juxtapose that with how the villains have lost:

-Salem failed to eliminate Ozpin from the picture.

-Tyrian failed to apprehend Ruby.

-Salem failed to obtain the Relic of Knowledge.

-Cinder failed to obtain the Spring Maiden powers.

-Cinder failed to obtain the Winter Maiden powers.

-Adam died.

So, yeah, all in all it's been a total draw. Neither side has lost more than the other. Clearly, the correct course of action is to just keep having draws until the series ends. That should keep the fans happy. **massive sarcasm**

Seriously, though, anyone who thinks the heroes haven't been owning and robbing the villains blind the past 4 volumes belongs in a padded cell. It just doesn't conform with reality, and I'm concerned for those individuals' mental health. 1. Still a consequence.

2. Uhh... no... Half the point reason RWBY and co were dropped off in Mantle and not Atlas is because they were in a stolen airship, and said airship is how they got tracked down by the Ace Ops. Also, the team explained that they had to steal one to get to Solitas. So no, it wasn't "never brought up again." Their heist played a pretty big part in meeting Ironwood.

3. How is this a valid argument? This seems more like you just mocking my point.

4. I know, but by extension RWBY lost the lamp. If ORNJ lost it, RWBY lost it too.
