I'm still a bit confused he couldn't see why people thought there was a hardcap. Further down in the 2014 thread:

Yeah I am confused about that too, but there are multiple possibilities:

1. He didn't want people to know, so he denied it. The devs don't give away all their secrets.

2. Perhaps it was added later. The 2014 post was Velious beta I believe, so the 289 worn ac clamp might not have been active or added at the time.

3. The way Haynar was testing AC might have involved guide tools, cheats, a separate program that runs the code outside the client, etc. Sometimes when testing with those methods, you get incorrect results because the code being run is different from what the players are using. So he may have thought it was correct.
