During my long absence i pondered the above question and discussed it with my LS upon my return...But due to recent developments bothe irl and in game it got me wondering ..again.

I origionally believed that a pld player was one who had a certain mind set.
i.e. take on the mob and protect the party at all costs

But while lvling WHM/BLM to tele status I realised in fact the opposite was true.Most of the Paladins i have partied with on whm seem to shy away from danger.
UPDATED:
In qufim one such PLD (lvl22)Stated that he wouldn't tank a Giant or pug because there was no WHM and suggested to the leader that we chain crabs.
After a lecture from a lvl 55 pld<ME> about how we could do it and live with this party set up he dc'd
Then we went and found a war/mnk also lvl22 and we then took out as many giants and when pickings were slim we took out the occasional crab

once most of us were at 23 we went to pugs and killed untill links became a concern then we went to the tower

So i guess I'll have to come up with a new therory.... since the personality theory was a bust
