It was never intended for low level players to be able to gain XP on ilum with the bolster mechanic. It is an exploit. What they should have said in that original post that you quoted is that they are not considering it an actionable exploit.

Glad it's not a Windows server reboot or we'd have a REAL problem.

First, we are not considering this an exploit so anyone who had fear of action being taken against their characters, etc, should not be afraid. We will not be doing anything to players who used the Ilum pylons to get to 50. I will say that player ingenuity never ceases to amaze us all. This was not a part of the intended design of the Gree event running simultaneous to the Double XP Weekends. Due to this, we are going to be having a maintenance later this week to deploy a fix to this issue. I wanted to talk a bit about the fix itself since it will mix up things on Ilum temporarily. Our immediate fix to this issue is that for the time being, we are going to disable bolster on Ilum. This will have a couple of different affects. Low level characters will no longer be treated as level 50 in regards to experience. They will now have the normal experience penalties associated to grouping with a player of a higher level. Meaning those players will now gain little to no experience when grouped. Players who are levels 45-49 will have a slightly harder time completing some Gree event quests as they are no longer bolstered to level 50. I want to again reiterate that this is only a temporary solution. We are continuing to investigate the issue and intend to have a more permanent solution in place before the Gree event returns. -eric you were saying?

Meh... taking away bolster won't change a thing. If we're locked out, I'll simply organize an ops party of level 40-45 players, then obliterate all the mobs in section X instead. Bolster was nice, but at level 41 it added only a few hundred HP and less than 50 primary damage. Grinding will still be doable.
