So now I should be able to equip full whites and que for Titan, just so my repair bill is cheaper? And this is apparently acceptable to waste 7 other party members time for up to an hour? Or expect them to leave if they don't like it and sit in que for another hour because I was selfish?

This just doesn't make sense, If you are not geared for a fight and you are expecting others to carry you through the fight or waste their time trying a boss when you couldn't even spend the time watching a video or farming CM/WP/AK for some simple gear. /facepalm
