How to progress in t9 this late in the expac without paying for it?

[ExKage]

You did not have to pay. Your aim was to get into a FARM GROUP. No farm group wants to take a shot on someone unproven. Many others before you who cleared before Christmas 2014 had to gather their own people and grind out T9 until they cleared. They made friends. They worked hard on finding people who were making progress in T9. What you wanted was a -shortcut-. You got it. Yay.

Regardless,i am contributing and being a stable member of that group.I am EARNING the right to be in the group by failing once every 5 hours,and this fail because of being tired of nonstop farming.I could NOT earn that chance to prove myself if i hadnt paid.Oh yes,i could run the content with PF mouthbreather groups for a month and get a kill when the stars align.Please enlighten me on how this would make me a better raider or person.

Actually, some farm groups will if you talk to them and ask if it's all right to join. My farm group allowed someone who hadn't cleared to come with us since he said he'd seen everything up through divebombs and just needed a group who would not mess up in the final phase. We took the chance and brought him with us... and he played flawlessly. We got him his clear and then we all went on to farm it a few more times.

Yep, no harm in asking. While one can't always expect a yes with T9 because of how long it takes to get back to Phase 4 if someone messes up, the amount of people whom have T9 cleared isn't very large so if a party leader is sitting around for awhile they are likely to give a chance just to get something going. Of course even the best farm parties have a simple mess-up every now and then because of possible RNG.
