First off, you're a Lone Tenno and there are no other comments on this page linked to your IP address so I have no idea where you suppossedly gave "several scenarios where having a D polarity is outright disadvantageous".

Now there are two ways in which we treat weapons.

1. We level them for MR and then never touch them again.

2. We Forma them until the 8 fully ranked mods we want fit.

In scenario 1, the 'D' is irrelevant, you aren't going to even catalyst it so there is no way for the 'D' to be a problem. You aren't going to fit 8 fully ranked mods with 30 capacity, so you're going to leave some slots empty, and if it's an empty slot it's irrelevant what polarity it has.

In scenario 2, you either want the 'D' for your build or you don't.

If you want the 'D', it's an advantage because the slot is already polarized how you want it so you save yourself a forma.

If you do not want the 'D' then it is no different than an unpolarized slot. Before you start applying forma you aren't going to have enough mod capacity to fit 8 fully ranked mods onto your weapon, so you will have at least one slot without a mod in it, and it doesn't matter whether the empty slot has a 'D' or is unpolarized if you have no capacity left. With you not wanting the 'D' all you do is replace it with a new poilarity when you apply your 1st forma and it will never get in the way of your build. But, most importantly if the 'D' polarity wasn't there and all you had was an unpolarized slot you would still have to apply that 1st forma to fit the build you wanted, and then probably several more forma.

The 'D' polarity is never any more detrimental to weapon than an unpolarized slot, unless you make it a detriment by polarizing other slots.

If you disagree with me, then post a Weapon and 8 fully ranked mods that would be able to fit if the 'D' wasn't there without you applying any forma.
