To get equipment or gold now? I can no longer que for SM, and if I find a group by my self it seems the drops have decreased drastically, so what should I do now? Thanks for any suggestions.
Who isn't allowing you to go into sm anymore?
How about you actually run there and find a group AT the dungeon? No the loot doesn't change when you get higher level, and it's not different with/without the LFD tool.
To be blunt, don't be friggen lazy, and go out and find a group by spamming area chat. You can get into SM at any level.
Did you not see I ran the dungeon 3 times after I turned 32? I do go find groups, I was just using the instance finder not letting me que as further evidence to the non existant drops I was getting as proof that the game does not want me in that dungeon at level 32.
