Trading Premium Style Box Items In Reboot?
I know it kind of contradicts the no-trading-policy in Reboot, but it make sense. The premium style box items are random and can be very annoying and especially a waste of money when you're trying to get a specific item, not to mention it also breaks Maplestory's no gambling rule. I know there's an NPC where you can trade one item for ONE stamp, which is basically 3 dollars for 1 stamp, and you need 20+ stamps to get a single item from the stamp shop.
I suggest that there should be a trade system in Reboot only for cash shop items, and if you want to get more specific, Premium Style Box items. Instead of having people trade in their items for inefficient stamps, they could trade with other players.

I agree with your points. An alternative to trading is revamping the stamp store thing. Instead of selling the Camellia and Shadow Warrior items, they should sell items that you can receive from the Premium Style boxes during that rotation. So if you open a bunch of boxes and don't get what you want you can spend 20 stamps on the one item you wanted. This could also encourage players to buy 20 style boxes, so if they don't get what they want they'll always have backup.
NX doesn't affect progression or make anyone stronger or anything. It's just cosmetics. Implementing this feature wouldn't change the state of the game, and would more just alleviate player frustrations with RNG. But especially if it's a one for one trade, nothing is inherently gained or lost. Of course, this can by no means involve mesos, for obvious reasons.
A 1 for 1 trade is very easily abused. There are many items in the Surprise boxes that are obviously not as desired as other ones. Unless you try to assign a "market value" to items in a 1 for 1 trade someone can trade something really rare like a Feline Blue Sleeves for a junk box item. As compensation, a trade can happen outside of the game that violates the ToS because you have something worth "value" that you have just traded. The trade can also be exchanged for carries or other services.
This is applicable to normal servers as well, and they have their full NX trade system. There's no way to stop outside trades or anything, so this is probably the best that's possible.
