Being able to gather Level 2 Nodes at TH 18 instead of 19.

I don't understand why I can hit titans at TH 18, but can't collect gem nodes until TH 19. What's the point? All ATA's doing is forcing us to get forced up another bracket early if we want to be able to collect Lv 2s.

I'll post what I remember about titan and gem nodes:

TH 10: Level 1 Titan Hunting
TH 18: Level 2 Titan Hunting
TH 25: Level 3 Titan Hunting

TH 10: Level 1 Gem Nodes
TH 19: Level 2 Gem Nodes(???)
TH 25: Level 3 Gem Nodes.

Why???

I'll put it down as another example. Since I can attack titans and TH 18, and I manage to kill it... Great! I now have 7-8 gem nodes(Don't remember exact amount) to collect!

Except wait... I can't. Now they're just sitting there for freeloaders to pick up. Great for maybe my clan mates, if they're online to gather.

Why are you like this, ATA?

 

I I don't think so since the bracket from the very top 25, goes from 23 to 25 and 19 to 22 and from down on its 16 to 18 13 to 15 10 to 12 and so on. I've never seen an instance where the brackets increased by one so it's usually every three town halls. So clearly this is either some sort of move on ATA to get us to move up a bracket early, or something else.

Everyone, or at least most veterans realize that the higher you go up in events the worse it gets in the the brackets as everyone's capped off, and you have to deal with more competition. Eventually when everyone that hits Town Hall 25 or at least gets between the 23 or 25 bracket everything's going to be one big clusterfuck since everyone is going to be stuck in the same bracket and there's only first to third place that you can place in up there.

Not everyone wants to rank up their Town Halls just to get into a new bracket for some some upgrade that should have been in the same bracket as the corresponding one.
