AC softcap and low level hardcap discussion

Do you understand what we're talking about when we talk about a mob's squelch point? It was developed in that AC ranger parsing thread Sugundor started earlier this year.

I understand the context of the "squelch point" you are referring to.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the AC tests in that thread were done with higher level characters. The hardcap formula I am referring to only applies to "low levels", so the "squelch point" wouldn't be directly relevant.

Haynar's formula probably no longer applies to the characters doing the tests in that thread. Unless you were testing with characters under 40, Haynars formula would need 265+ worn AC to even begin testing. Did that thread have any tests with 40+ characters wearing 300+ worn AC?

EDIT: To be clear, I don't mean level 60 tests when I say 40+, as max level wouldn't be low level. We don't know what the "low level" range is. Gregorgasmic suggested levels 1-50 at one point, but I don't think it was confirmed.
