Right, just because the plot isn't going anywhere doesn't mean nothing happens. That's exactly what is so frustrating, for me anyways. He introduces all sorts of extra characters I don't really care about, doing things that I don't really care about instead of telling the story I want to hear. Then there's also his tendency to cliffhanger his readers for years at a time. As someone said upthread, he's a fabulous writer, and for that reason the stalled progress is doubly annoying.
