I loathe Anomander Rake. He is too... perfect. Did you miss the part where [Toll the Hounds spoilers] he's a martyr bearing a kickass magic sword-shaped cross that bears the weight of all those he has slain in his attempts to save a world from Chaos? And then he sacrifices himself to himself on his own sword so that he can lead the lost souls through the Hell of Chaos and emerge to redemption on the other side? The guy is Jesus Christ. And I don't mean a parallel to Jesus Christ like Rand is, I mean an actual Jesus Christ. And he didn't even have the tragic flair of Itkovian.
Good to know I stopped reading before it got so corny.

That is probably due to you having fought so many wars in Video Games, but not real ones.

I loved Dark Rand. I agree, I wish he was around longer. Should've come out earlier in the series.

Reading about a saint is boring. Reading about an imperfect hero is exciting.

That's actually kind of shallow and limited

I don't read for morality either, but IMO, it makes a better story because it is tougher

You're right. But I'm very angry with the writers for portraying Egwene in such a positive way.

I do have to say, though, that I would have burst out laughing if he balefired Tuon and the Seanchan

You were shown as early as TDR that conquering someone doesn't mean they are going to follow you
