Have you actually been ingame recently to test this? I'm not sure what you were doing on your trader to get very little xp for those quests unless you were just doing key quests.
Also that thread you referred to seems to just be a lot of people reacting to what they thought was a change without anyone actually trying to see if there was any effect. No wonder FC ignored the feedback if it was complaining about something that wasnt actually true. There was another thread posted at the same time(post patch) where i had actually pointed out that the normal sl quests rewards hadnt been affected at all.

Since then, in the past 6 months, I've levelled an enf, doc, sol to 220 keeping most of the sl zone quests to be done 215+ to get massive amounts of sk as quest rewards. And i know others who've done the same so its not like I've got some exploit on my account
When i get home from work later, i can test this with a 220 advy who hasn't done the scheol quest and confirm this properly as of current state
EDIT: I just did the start of the scheol quest, and just for first few steps, got a few daily rewards(for a 220) for each completion so it definitely has not been nerfed, not for non-key quests.... So that's at least 3 times I've personally tested this and found this assertion that non-key SL quest rewards have been nerfed to be nonsense.
1) once right after the patch that supposedly nerfed it a year ago,
2) recently throughout the last 6 months I used it to help level 3 toons 215+ to 220, and
3) again tonight, I've just tested it again.
I have no idea what game you're playing, Raggy, but its not Anarchy Online....
