Because people would abuse it and make new accounts and transfer that AB to their main account

You'd also have people who do well in minigames and/or badge income selling the AB in out-of-app transactions (i.e. transfer $10 via venmo for 1000AB).

I think the answer is clear here. What would happen? A whole lot of cheating is what would happen.

One person could create multiple accounts and then game the system by transferring all AB to one of the accounts. This would give them an unfair advantage.

Even if not abused, it would encourage players to team up and isolate weaker players on their own and take their mayorships. It would turn into a team game where everyone makes less because you’d have to share with your teammates

People would not doubt create multiple accounts, watching adds on them all and adding it all to one game.

You just can’t trust people

And it would be easy to get multiple smartphones, because I have seen some of the cheapest ones for like $15 or $20.
