Well the latest question of the week at the official WoT website asked just this question, RJ's answer:

QUOTE
There are many more stedding in Seanchan than there are in the part of the world where the story is taking place, and that is why the Seanchan Ogier don't suffer from the Longing. Because there are so many more stedding, they were able to find them more easily even during the Breaking and therefore never had the very extended separation that Ogier on this side of the Aryth Ocean had, though they seldom were able to settle in one for very long until the Breaking ended.


So this says there are two reasons essentially, one the Ogier haven't been away long enough to suffer the Longing, and two there were so many Stedding there that the Ogier were not seperated from them as much as the mainland Ogier during the breaking, as I had previously postulated. They will suffer the Longing eventually, it just likely isn;t as strong as with mainland Ogier.

Yes it was, except that thread was deleted and since we got an official answer I figured it would be good to post it for the benefit of those who don't read the question of the week through the official website.
