To comment on the original post without reading most the thread: When P1999 first opened, AC had no effect that anyone could notice. Consequently many players opted to gear for straight hitpoints. This was changed awhile back such that AC has some effect now (whether its classic or not is questionable, but it *does* have a measurable effect). However, reputations and perceptions only change slowly, so the mantra of AC being broken lingers on.
