I disagree - Moiraine's wilder tricks show that she is quite creative with the OP

We know for example that she started experimenting with the One Power once she found out she could channel - she generated a trick involving light sources and stones. Further there were variations of weaves in which she used a staff or branch as a focus such as whips of fire and using a branch as a fireball-shooting wand.
I'm not going so far to say that she is on the same level as Egwene, Elayne and Nynaeve, but I do think that unlike many Sisters, by the time she was Raised, she was known as barely above a Wilder for a reason, and I think it is because she had personal tricks that lay outside of what the White Tower taught.

How were all these amazing weaves 'lost' ?

You're right. It is merely a plot requirement, made ludicrous by the ease of mastering these weaves

These are good points. To some extent, it may be because our main characters are "gifted" channelers

The bigger problem is minor characters copying the weaves so quickly...

All I'm saying, is that Travelling would STILL be a very usefull survival tool during the Breaking..

If you go back and read the descriptions of the breaking, and think about the 3000 year cycle

I don't think that creating cuendillar and 'angreals was common knowledge.

You & Ryan make good points, esp on balefire/compulsion. In a shorter series, it'd make more sense

If they are secretive and protective, it's not a huge stretch that knowledge would be taken into the

That's because most of the major people in WoT are powerful channelers.

How can you "write a weave down"?

How did Moiraine learn balefire then? *NM*

figured it out on her own, don't forget that Nyn used it too against the Fades in TDR. *NM*

That's a stretch - Moiraine never demonstrated any creative talent with the OP...

OK, I'll buy Vandene teaching it, but not learning it from a written description *NM*

We know of her trick with stones and light from 'New Spring' IIRC

Passing on useful survival skills trumped esoteric lore during the War of Power and the Breaking
