Paladins are poorly regarded on P1999 mostly because they're specialized towards a job (group tank) that most players don't care about. Paladins solo only slowly, aren't a critical raid class, and aren't generally great at making money, either. If you like the group tank role well enough to want to dedicate yourself to it then the Paladin gives excellent service, but as a main it's definitely a class for a niche portion of the player base. Since the Paladin is at its best during the leveling portion of the game it also serves well for those players who want a tank-type alt to play around with now and then, especially if said alt is cheaply-equipped.
