The reason you don't see a lot of paladins and shadowknights is because in the intervening years between original EQ and now, folks just aren't willing to grind certain combinations. With each passing year, the entire human population's attention span grows shorter. Long term goals are almost met with sneers. Hell, commercials even play background music proclaiming "I want it all, and I want it now".
You deserve it!
This is ultimately a game and it's just a tide of the times that people know where the time sinks are and they steer away from them.
I've been here since 8/2010 and am L52. Seems about right to me as a pally =)
I block out a lot of knowledge. For an old-school player, sometimes what I don't know surprises folks. The same goes for some of the things I do know. That's how it used to be. A lot of people each brought a part to solving the puzzle.
The puzzle has been solved. We can't be as naive again in a world that so nearly matches what it used to be.
