Yeah, I have some friends who never finished the series because they thought it got really slow in the later books, but I think it's also because they never really got into the story. If you read the first books and don't love them, then reading through to the end of the series will probably be torture for you, but if you read the first books and love the story as well as appreciating the huge world and dozens of viewpoints, then the later books will probably be a bit slow, but you will still love them.
WoT is my favorite series ever so I didn't think the later books got too slow, but I did hate the parts where Robert Jordan was pretty much explaining who the characters were and what the whole series was about. He needed to do that for people who hadn't read previous books(why do people do that?) and because most people probably won't remember who someone is from the mention of their name, but the beginnings of the later books were always slow for me.
So I don't really know what the point of this post was, but if you like Brandon's books and you like long series, there's no way you won't love the WoT series.
