Why do people hate darkrp so much?

Admins are always cancerous unless you get a decent server like ThatDarkRPServer a few years ago. Most of the time, servers are filled with the same addons with no personal touch, barely ever see a custom health bar for god sake. The same drug farming system and recycled rprint addons that crop up without any thought make it so 'samey'

I'm working on a server right now for instance that is going to be running the DarkRP gamemode, a weapons pack, and some basic tools but will have everything custom coded as to what I would like DarkRP to be, following the fptje/Dogman_35 DarkRP formula as it seems to be the best way of doing things.

It seems to me that DarkRP is one of the few game modes available that offers enough freedom to call itself RP, while its counterparts are filled with stupid rules, minimal prop selection, 'Admin Only' tools etc.

Mostly the servers are created due to their minimal effort in setup, drag-and-drop addon installation (unless they get them on workshop).

That's my rant over lmao

I was an admin on ThatDarkRPServer back in 2011, and every time I go on there I get called a 'newbie' which couldn't be less appropriate. I wouldn't say that the staff on that was great either to be honest.
