Alright, I'm sorry. I should have put an emote or some brackets to indicate that my comments were jests. You have to understand that I've been playing intensively on a PvP server for months now and certain things get ingrained in one's subconcious. Paladins noob bubble. Gnomes should be punted. All night elves should die. It's wierd to play Alliance on Stormrage after all these months playing Horde on Tichondrius. Just today I was killing some skeletons in Duskwood and turned to see two night elves. My heart started racing and I prepared to PW:Shield and SW:Pain. Then I realized I was playing Alliance, I wasn't on a PvP server, and I wasn't playing a priest. The intensity of the game at times elicits a Pavlovian response.
I do actually think that the paladin as a class tends to attract more noob or clueless players to it than other classes. I certainly saw a lot of that in the beta. But I also saw a few players who were actually good at playing the class, and I definitely grew to respect those particular players.
