Honestly, I haven't seen a single case of a child (ICly) stating (oocly) they want to be stronger than a High Commander simply because they spent more time playing the game. In fact, the closest thing to any example of a person using their in-game play time, etc. to influence their character's standing in the world was to say 1. 'I've been playing so and so years so I was there through so and so wars' or 2. 'Well I got so and so gear because I worked for it and if we're going to duel, I'm going to wear it because it's IC for me'. I -have- seen 'child characters' treated as super-powered, sometimes half-demons, but incidentally, none of those people have ever been level capped.
Ever.
My experience is somewhat limited, however.Â
I agree with Freelance that ignoring the mechanics can lead to ignoring the lore that they're based on. Doesn't, by any means, mean you -must- implement each and every single thing absolutely to the letter; but common sense -can- be applied to that too, doesn't have to be one or the other.
