FFXII is the best game in the series with the best writing and the best characters but that's savagely off-topic.

Robert Jordan (may he rest in peace) couldn't write women. Period. I can only assume that his understanding of the relationships between men and women was not accurately communicated in his portrayals of them. I liked the first few Wheel of Time books, but Jordan is not in any way comparable to Erikson or Martin.

And yes, characters are more important than worldbuilding - unless, ah, the world becomes something so grand, so wonderful, as to match the means of characters who walk other worlds.

Interesting, I absolutely love the relationships in a Wheel of Time, and think that the humor that they add is, in my mind, one of the cool parts about the series.

So which one w as your favorite woman?

Which one was your favorite dude/lady relationship?

Which one was your favorite relationship between two women?

now that i think about it...i would say nynaeve...which is odd...since i generally felt she was a real cunt and didnt like her that much while i was reading it.
