I'm there for the payoff. But it's also important to keep the "burn" interesting. Not a fan when the writers forget what made the relationship interesting in the first or just forget the pairing entirely. Or jerk back and forth with the same kind of conflict until I get bored. Or ugh, turn the payoff into nothing more than a fizzling fart with minimal to no satisfaction.

Ugh, yes on the jerking back and forth with stupid conflict. I always think "you've shown me ample evidence that these two can live without each other just fine, and perhaps should do so, so don't try to convince me otherwise now."

Yeah, I love a slowburn but I can't stand a will-they-won't-they, and unfortunately a lot of people don't know the difference.

Yeah, I think any conflict that happens between the pairing in a slow burn needs to be written very carefully, with an eye toward bringing the characters closer rather than pushing them further apart. So, for example, let's say they argue about something. The end result of the argument should be that they realize something about themselves and/or each other, and come to a greater interpersonal understanding. It shouldn't be, "how could I have ever thought he was anything but a jerk????" or what-have-you.
