In general, a lower ID shows more experience. If you play the game longer, you're more likely to be better and building, be more responsible for your actions and know the rules well enough to avoid too much trouble.
Of course, this is not really true; There are 1k idiots and people in the 30ks who are great builders and people. False correlations cause trouble.
Anyone in the top 10k IDs is less trusted that anyone else for this stupid reason.
I was called a noob when I joined with 6743. If I purchased ID 40614 I would be called a noob because of a number, even if I have had 4 years of playing this game.
