All paladins are noobs. If they weren't a noob, they would pick a more challenging class to play. One must understand that this is coming from a Horde perspective. I hear these kinds of comments frequently while playing: "He's level 40, let him go." "He's a paladin." "Oh, kill him then." It's like Horde players find killing paladins a duty just to make sure that paladins know what it is like. So many paladins must be shocked and amazed when death actually happens to them.
Regarding your comment on paladin flag carriers, you just proved my point. The only reason to have a paladin carry the flag is so that he or she can drop the flag for someone else to carry it. Such a switch is pretty dangerous, because it's just as easy for an opponent to hit the flag as well, so this isn't something one wants to do often. Sure, there are desperate times when it's OK for a paladin to pick up a flag -- heck, I've picked up a flag out of desperation, too, even though I think priests are even *worse* flag carriers than paladins. But in general, I'd rank paladins pretty low on the list of flag carriers. They're much better as flag escorts.
