Ursprungligen skrivet av Warlock:

No one right now locks people up in monasteries by force, people have a choice to be a priest or not, hell even in medieval times in most cases people chose life of a cleric cause you'd get the education and also a possibly great career in the church. Completely different from treatment of Ardat-Yakshi.

Lol for someone who makes a whole thread just to accuse a fictional character of being a hypocryte, way to be one yourself by completely disregarding the point of an argument and pretending it means something else.

The point was : to be able to abstain you need discipline and the way to achieve it is to have a very secluded and regimented life, like in a monastery. The ardat yakshi are made to live like nuns because they need to stay abstinent and the method is the one that works.

Ursprungligen skrivet av Warlock:
"they feel compelled to mate, and the compulsion grows stronger each time they succeed."

So, don't kill or contemplate it, and Ardat-Yakshi won't suffer addiction like if they actually pursue it, or give in to it? Sounds like something adults can be able to do, you can be celibate without living in seclusion.

Don't contemplate it is the issue, Ardat yakshi have a hard time not contemplating it when temptation is everywhere. So they are made to stay away from temptation.
They are also usually just teenagers, in Asari years , when they are first discovered, it's made very clear by the various logs you can read in the monastery, they're teenagers who like very glamorous vids like vaenia.
And they also usually have already killed at least once since it's how they are found out, because they mate for the first time and kill their partner. Maybe some are found by testing DNA because one of their sisters has killed revealing she has the gene but the majority have already killed once.

Ursprungligen skrivet av Warlock:
"Their products often end up in the galactic market as commodities with reputation, like asari honey marinade, or as luxury items, like asari honey mead".

So, it's slave labor basically. Asari take the credit, they don't mention it was done by Ardat-Yakshi and profit of people with a genetic condition? Got it. Very nice alternative to living a free life.

So they work to pay for their food and board at the monastery and this allows for a very beautiful and luxurious home. It also gives them a purpose and pride in their work .
They are Asari, when Asari are credited of being able to produce such incredible products they also get the credit.

Ursprungligen skrivet av Warlock:
Life has to be fair, such ridiculous arguments about "life is unfair, deal with it" would not have pushed people towards progress and new beliefs, in value of all life.

But I'm honestly done arguing about it, it seems to be going nowhere. Samara is a hypocrite though, that is undisputed even if you want to remain oblivious to the fact.

Life can't be fair, some are born rich some poor, some smart some dumb, some beautiful others ugly, some healthy, some sick.

And, yes, a healthy society has to try and make it as fair as possible and reduce the inequalities.
But reduce doesn't mean suppress, it would be impossible. You can't prevent people from being sick, from losing loved ones and so on and so forth. Some will always be more lucky than others and you'll only hurt yourself if you don't accept that and learn to live with it.

And in the case of the Ardat yakshi giving them a chance to live instead of killing them outright is exactly that, it's trying to make it as fair pas possible for everyone.

It's unfair that you can be killed by someone just because you wanted to mate with them and they wanted to enjoy becoming stronger, smarter, more powerful and the high they get from killing you.
So to make it fair to the millions of unsuspecting potential victims those ardat yakshi have to be contained one way or the other.
And to be fair to them they are given a chance at a life instead of just killed.

The game is not closing down and is no where close to that. It is in early access for goodness sake. The release of 1.0 will be the point we can start talking about if it was a bad decision and even then it is up to the devs on how they wish to proceed. Also, I'm not defending the game. I'm just saying the devs have made their decision on how monetization is going to work and I think it is a very respectable decision to allow players to put down a very small entry fee like the cost of a combo meal at mcdonalds to allow them the opportunity to earn everything in the game with in game currency and not include any skummy loot boxes or pay to win mechanics.
Here we go with the false dichotomy. It is not either paid game or scummy practices. You can have a good free to play game that respects the players and the players will respect it in return.

The player numbers are not low because the game is in early access. The player numbers are low because they started low and anyone who happens upon the game sees that they are low and while they might place it in their wishlist they do not buy it because of those numbers. This is a multiplayer game for such that is a self-perpetuating problem.
I'm just telling you the devs made their decision so respect it. Quit going on and on about how they need to change it. Your opinion is known, so stop repeating yourself. Move on, play some other free to play game that you think is so wonderful.
