I think that many peoples opinions of RofA can be coloured by their experience with some of his previous writings.

While I do Like his older writings like the Belgaried and The Elenium, The extension of those universes by the Mallorean and the Tamuli, made many unhappy, as they are quiet similar, and as such do seem as if you are rereading the same story.

But then again, I enjoy rereading stories, and the extension of the universes and the winding up of all the minor stories is something I enjoy.

What I usually suggest to people who are apprehensive or unhappy about RofA is to forget about the writer or his previous works and just enjoy the story on its own. while it is no High Fantasy, it is a great read.
