How does crouch/prone and threat interact? Does crouch/prone even work with upper level mobs?

I was in Edengrove as a level 60, in a level 51-52 mob area. I have a bunch of -threat % gear on, and after testing, it didn’t seem to matter whether I had it on or off, the mobs detected me from the same distance away. I would have thought -threat % would’ve allowed me to get closer without detection, but it didn’t seem to have any effect at all.

THEN I tried moving towards the mobs while crouched, and then while prone, and they STILL detected me from the same range (which was actually pretty far, given that I was 8-9 levels above them.)

I know in the lower-level mob areas (30-40s) I pretty much have to run directly by a mob for them to notice me, but even with -threat % gear on, even while crouched, even while prone, the mobs in Edengrove seem to detect me from the same distance no matter what. Why?

AFAIK threat reduction gear reduces the threat caused by your damage and healing.

Aggro awareness range is different by the mob and can be adjusted by level of the character but also can be set to ignore levels.

Threat is an on combat function that only has impact when there are multiple targets in combat after mob aggroes
