Lower ID = Better builder
It makes no difference

Author Topic: Lower ID = Better Builder?  (Read 6104 times)

Oh my goodness, is this timely. I saw one of the worst builders ever who had an ID in the 600's. Check this out.


I met a 2k who was terrible at building.

I met a 2k who was terrible at building.

The majority of 2ks are people who needed to buy a new ID due to deactivation / whatever, or feel "embarassed" by their high ID; this means that 2ks aren't as low as you think.

2k's are also IDs sold on one particular site, forgot which, but yeah.

Not at all, low ID means only that you bought the ID closer to Blocklands release. Nothing more.

Low BL_ID does not mean one can build better.

dooble is right.
skill is skill.

My ID is 259 and I still can't build good.

Liquid i agree with you on this one.

2K Will always be more experienced and more skilled then a freakin 16k

But yes sometimes some handicapped peron like this dude in the pictures with 600 something totaly sucks!!!!

i'm living proof that build id dose not mean your a better builder. id:734

Depends on how often they practice.
More practice=good skills.
Less practice=not so good skills.


oh, i've seen plenty of high IDs build much better than most the low ones.

Lower ID usually means you are a better builder. only because of that equation you mentioned. Now i'm not saying that it's impossible for a High ID to build well, there are many high ID's with exceptional building skills. It's just that if you were to look at the building skills of 100 ID's below 3000 (excluding 2/3rds of the 2k ID's) and 100 ID's above 13000 then you would find that around 80 of the ID's below 3000 will build well. While only maybe 20 of the 100 ID's above 13000 will build well. Also this test would rely on you randomly picking the 100 people not like selecting the best of that group. Once again I'm not saying that I'm ID discriminatory that's just my take on it.

tl;dr oh just read the god damn post.


There are anomalies on both sides of the spectrum. I really think that whether low IDs are better builders or not has less to do with their actual skill but how much we here from them. For example, in the 100-1000 range the builders that suck have either faded into obscurity or left because this game's real fun is in building. They also have more time to improve on their skills. However, the newer members, while their are some exceptions, generally suck.

For example, I got this game in May of 2008. This was basically the first build I posted pictures of.



Now just think of some of my recent accomplishments, which I won't go over.

So, if you're around for a long time you either get good or you fade into the shadows where we don't hear from you too much.
