So yeah this is a thing

yeah that's a valid point

that said, I'd put solid money that the fixation on the importance of Dust for most of these people has little to do with that, and more to do with hbomb claiming in his review of the Beacon arc that the "Dust heist plotline" goes nowhere, completely ignoring that Cinder says early on in the 2nd volume that they're done stealing Dust, and then on the train Roman and the White Fang are working on, the crates of Dust they stole are clearly visible, on a train that also has giant mechs and the armed White Fang, as well as bombs, and it's very easy to put two and two together on that with it being clear that the aim was to amp up tensions with all the robberies (and strain the Dust supply), then attack the city with an army of Grimm and White Fang, causing a mass panic in all the chaos in the days leading up the tournament, so that citizens will be even more on edge (but Oz and company will be lulled into a false sense of security that they've contained the primary threat)

i do not know where people are getting the idea that volume 10 is going to be the last volume - there's too many plot threads set up to resolve for it to all be worked out in a single volume - but these people prove repeatedly they don't pay any attention to what is actually happening in the story or how fucking narratives work

They're not gonna fucking reboot the show - there's no fucking reason to reboot the show
