I think previously AA allowed J pax to bring 3*32kg, so maybe that's where the confusion comes from, but I think AA recently amended the rules.
Until recently it was definitely AA's policy to give OW members baggage privileges equivalent to their corresponding AA elite level. AA wasn't required to do that, but chose to for whatever reason.

I also heard that this was changing, but I have not experienced any problems in person. It could be that I've been lucky in getting poorly informed agents recently, or it could be that the policy hasn't actually changed yet. It'd be nice to see an official notice of some sort about it.
