The RWBY crew would definitely need weapon upgrades for some of the bigger monsters. Especially the heavily armored ones

Er, Mercury's old voice actor put up a letter that's related to the Shane thing (which is now dubbed Lettergate by the fans): http://imgur.com/WdUrcVr

Long story short, he was only payed $200 for his role on RWBY and is peeved at RT, but he left the show of his own accord, and he's irritated at Shane's letter for "dragging his name through the mud".

[up][up]Stronger equipment is a video game concept and will not completely matter in teh long run in some kind of anime universe.

Some will get better weapons...but not the iconic be replaced.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.

Well here is a third party that clearly doesn't take sides.

I'm really having my doubts about shane, but RT isn't completely innocent if this letter is anything to go by.

Can we blame Droy for this one?

The thing is, Mercury barely had any lines in Season 2. $200 seems kinda reasonable, to be honest.

200 bucks for 7 Episodes, that's about $28.5 per episode. Not gonna lie, I can understand just from a monetary standpoint why he would leave.

[up][up][up]Actually, it's not just from a gameplay standpoint. Some monsters have such thick skin/armor that lower quality weapons don't do anything to them.

[up][up][up] very important to keep in mind. Saying 7 episodes makes it sound like a much bigger deal than it is, voicework is paid on actual dialogue recorded or it would be unfair to those with larger roles.

[up] understandable, and he's free not to take the work if it doesn't meet his needs. But the way he described it was very unfair to RT.

Ironically, yes. Despite Gogmazios eating sulfur and using Fire element, it's weakest to Fire (and Dragon). [lol]

... However, it's monstrously tanky. Plus, Oil laser one-shots even G-rank armored hunters.

And now Glinda's voice actress is playing both sides: she tweeted Shane's letter saying "all of this is true" (despite not being an employee at RT for years), and then puts up a video asking people to be supportive and not witch hunt anyone.

She's apparently had really bad relationships with RT after some thingamajig with Barb. Honestly, I'm not even gonna put up with this shit anymore, so I'm going to bed.

That said, it's already been proven that Shane's account isn't entirely accurate, so... hm.

She said it was true and then immediately backpedaled and said "don't go on any witch hunts about this", which is pretty hypocritical and two-faced.

Hell, she left before Monty even died, so how would she even know anything?

RT ain't gonna say shit. It'll blow over. People are already pointing out how little sense some of the claims make anyways.

[up][up][up]Or she could've realized what she was saying would only increase the shitstorm and tried to half-ass some damage control. It could go either way, really. On the one hand I'm inclined to believe there genuinely was a lot of pretty terrible stuff going on behind the scenes at RT, but on the other my belief that almost all human beings are secretly vindictive assholes like me leads me to believe that, well... yeah.

Wait.... If she left, why is she still voicing Glynda? J.J. left and Mercury was immediately replaced, but if Kathleen left before Monty passed....

I'm confused now

I mean, they have Monty's brother voicing Ren, for god's sakes! How come he hasn't spoken up about this?

[up]

She probably still liked doing the role or something.

Just because you stop being a full-time employee doesn't mean they can't hire you out for voicework every so often.
