is it bad that i don't know who aldo is? and is he actually level 37?
He is pretty close to level 37, last I heard 100 million away.
Who he is?
Let me put it this way - he has put over two times (maybe even 3x) as many hours as I have into this game (thats a fricken lot) grinding to level 37 almost entirely on battle server, a significant part of level 36 to 37 and all the trek to 36 without double xp. Considering in prior strats it would take 5-7 hours on battle server to equate to the same xp as 1 strategus battle which lasts roughly an hour. There are grooves in his s key from playing polearm on battle server (is it me or does battle server get really boring really fast?).
Why you may not recognize him? Because he is not one of the top polearmers in the game after all these hours (hes slightly above average with his level 36 build), like you would canary, kaoklai, bigsandwich, relit, holiday, etc. in NA or knitler, Heibai, switch, etc. in EU, who are also recognized in both NA and EU by some from the opposite continent.
Me -> I am Gen 32. Though to be fair I got a lot of gens in strat 1 with the 4-6 million xp battles thanks to broken xp bonus from gens (it did power, of not multiplier). Also, leeching on two servers at same time while reading a book. Then between strat 1 and strat 2 the xp bonus was still broken (no max cap on gen bonus and it was 10% each), so I was making 50K xp a tick from battle server at one point - got me to really high gen in 2 months. Also most of the way to level 36 with a lot less hours than it should have taken (didn't retire the entire 6 weeks before they fixed it - 6 weeks at 50K xp a tick was enough to get most of the way to 36).
