OMG I feel the same way. Perhaps that was the angle Jordan was wanting, readers to hate the characters not because they were good/evil but because of one repetitive action constantly through the books.
I'm currently (albeit slowly due to study requirements) going through book 13. I think up to book 6 it was great. 7-9 were good, had book 10 been book 1 or 2 I would have dropped the series. Book 11 finally got back into the story, 12 was a little better.
My biggest issue was the number of characters. Some new character will get introduced, detailed description, and never seen for 4 books who then returns. The return of the character is made worse by some names being so similar to other deeply described yet completely pointless people. Encyclopedia-Wot saved me a few times.
At times I start to wonder what the 'real' final epic battle is, Rand and the Dark One, or me actually finishing all 14 books
