What a cop-out. This is a book. Don't make me waste my time reading endless plots that turn out to be minor.

Examples of things that ended up being unneeded or resolved poorly:
  • There was no point to have to slog through pages about Morgase, only for her to be mentioned by name like once in the final book.
  • Windfinders
  • The Kin
  • Anything involved Siuan and Gareth
  • Rescuing Moraine only to have her barely be used or mentioned
  • Berelain and Galad abruptly disappear from the book
  • Egwene's much hyped dream powers
  • The Tuatha'an
  • PADAN FAIN
  • FAILe

I think it's more likely that there was too many plots and too many characters tied up in this to ever be resolved properly, so they were just outright abandoned by the authors.
