Martin's missed dates.
Rothfuss's "They are all written and just need to be edited so it shouldn't take long".

If they didn't raise expectations by saying things like that would we still complain? Yes, of course we will, we want to read new things by our favorite authors. But it wouldn't be as bad since they wouldn't have raised our hopes. I know I would never have started the Kingkiller Chronicles if he hadn't said that.
