I will totally grant that, for the roleplay server, there is a very important difference between spawning in as a mutant race and going and becoming one. Maybe the roleplay servers should have a different option for that than the main servers, because of the different implications, sure!
That said, man am I tired of the useless genetics meme. It's a self-fulfilling cycle of saying Genetics is just for superpowering yourself, people signing up to do just that because that's all they know, and people seeing that and repeating it. Discussion on improvement to genetics to make it more involved might be worthwhile, this isn't the thread for them, but I really don't dig on "Good luck getting genetics to change your body type" as a reason we should ignore that genetics does, in fact, do that thing too.
I generally prefer Spacebux being used for purely cosmetic to mildly gameplay changing things, or things that are just straight up negative for you as a sort of challenge mode. Like spawning in cuffed, straightjacketed, blindfolded, muzzled, and anklecuffed. I have a -lot- of spacebux saved up, and being able to buy in game advantages because I've been a nerd for longer just seems...eugh. I'm fine with lizards color shifting, don't really dig on any of the other changes to lizards, but werewolf healing is neat. Just make the color shift an innate ability they get with a moderate cooldown, IMO.
