Make genetic instability scale according to the mutations

encourages people to actually leave the lab

Wasn't the whole point of all this to make them actually do their job? Doesn't that entail doing the exact opposite of that thing?

The problem that a lot of people have is that the Geneticist's acquisition of those superpowers is, nine times out of ten, at the expense of Mt. Corpse just outside their office.

Geneticists have an all-time low motivation to actually do their job now that it's come to this. People are actively antagonizing them, the ONE ASPECT of the job that drew them to it in the first place has been shot in the kneecap, and even the admins seem to hate them, from the tone of the changelog. What reason do they have to clone people? To keep people from being pissed off at them? Why even bother playing the job anymore at that point?

Superpowers create a power trip in a lot of people and is much more simplistic when compared to stuff like research. Therefore, the genetic instability function forces geneticists to realize that there is more to life than become lasershooting, telekinetic Hulks.

It's not just about the super POWERS, though. I play genetics so I can make myself super-fancy and magical while helping people out. I don't want to be turned into a meatcube for trying to gain all the accents, for fuck's sake, man.
