That is a good mindset to have. Testing with high-end players only is a good way to lose perspective for newer players.

So with that in mind, why is Yoshi, an orange parsing Black Mage, not a detriment to the testing team? **whisper whisper** it's because he's a DPS, the only role Square cares about.
