Nice Things wrote: JJ's claims were also busted by the community. If you read the letter JJ posted he basically said. "Yeah I thought they weren't paying me enough so I just stopped showing up." If you continue reading you'll see RT kept trying to get in contact with him trying to work around him.

The community then ran some numbers and found that he was being paid a fair amount for the amount of screentime Merc had in Vol II and III. JJ also completely threw Shane's claims out the window. No one can deny that Vol III has both looked the best and sounded the best, losing Monty killed a part of us, but I applaud RT for picking it back up and moving forward. Despite losing Monty the fights in III were amazing and some of the best we've seen. In light of what you have just mentioned I have gone to read the letter JJ wrote.

He mentions the money AFTER talking about being "unhappy about what was being done, and how people were being treated." He stopped showing up due to the reasons above, only afterwards he found out how much he was being paid.

2nd, No where does he claim that he was being paid little, what he does mention in the sentence after that is that he was being paid little in comparison to how much RT was earning.

He was being paid little compared to how much RT was earning...he said that he was being paid $200 for 7 episodes, but RT was being paid $1000 for the couple of seconds it took us to read the letter.

His point was that they were paying him as if RWBY was still a small project rather than a big show which brings loads of revenue.

Therefore....My point still stands, JJ makes a great argument which backs up Shane's letter.
