Then they will make the class, or fire yoshi p. He doesn't have complete control over everything, but his word certainly goes a vary far way, especially considering he saved the MMO as a whole. So I'm willing believe that if YoshiP said classes will not be balanced by difficulty, then very good chance they will not.

I don't know how it works in other industries, but in the software/games industry you give your recommendations to the director/producer/managers, but ultimately the decision to do a certain thing is up to them.
