It would have been so easy to just make the Black Mage badge potable in GMS.
It wouldn't break game balance because, considering the low low drop rate of the other dark boss accessories, maybe 2-3 people in all of GMS will get it in a year. And all of them will probably already have a potentialled badge (since they're not removing existing ones).
Putting new players at a disadvantage (both regarding the badge itself, and regarding meso-farming in Reboot), right when Nexon is hoping to attract new and lapsed players back with the final battle against the Black Mage, is a bad idea in my opinion.
But removing people's existing badges, or removing the badges' potential and stars, would have been worse.
And the precedent set, is frightening. Is Gollux next to go? Should we hoard its accessories while we still can?
KMS' jealousy is going to destroy GMS.
P.S. I don't buy the excuse about illicit activity for a minute. Obviously the bots will just go elsewhere. They don't care if their meso rates go down, they'll just charge more real-world money from their buyers.
