Just had an issue at FNM in the finals, offered to draw with my opponent, the TO overheard and disqualified me saying it was bribery/cheating. When I pointed out that the rules said ID's are allowed the response was "I don't want to allow them".
So two things.
1. Will Wizards care if I complain?
2. Can I actually get it written down from a few judges that it's allowed?
It depends on your language.
If you simply said "Do you want to ID instead of playing?" then he was very wrong in what he did, and you can and should complain.
If you offered anything in exchange for the ID, then it was illegal.
2.4 Conceding or Intentionally Drawing Games or Matches
If a game or match is not completed, players may concede or mutually agree to a draw in that game or match. A
match is considered complete once the result slip is filled out or, if match slips are not being used, a player leaves
the table after game play is finished. Until that point, either player may concede to or draw with the other, though
if the conceding player won a game in the match, the match must be reported as 2-1. Intentional draws are always
reported as 0-0-3.
Players may not agree to a concession or draw in exchange for any reward or incentive. Doing so will be
considered Bribery (see section 5.2).
If a player refuses to play, it is assumed that he or she has conceded the match.
Was this an actual finals of elimination rounds, with only you and you opponent left or was it like the last round of swiss with you and your opponent the only undefeated?

Swiss, our store doesn't cut to top 8. My opponent and I were the only ones left undefeated.
The best part of the story? My opponent lost his final round and even after the DQ I had the strongest tiebreakers so would have had first place.
