You complain about the response from developers yet you aren't giving as much constructive criticism as you think, expecting them to extract the little there is from the negative messages. Even if they did that it would still be received in a negative way simply cause it wasn't how the initial idea was envisioned. To think suggestions or criticisms aren't considered would be wrong, I've had ideas both expressed publicly or within meetings accepted or denied within reason and understood the feedback as to why.
Garry's Mod as a whole has gone down and long overdue an overhaul, you don't get anything that hasn't been done before. Hence the lose of interest from everyone, players, developers, communities as a whole. Most of the "slop" that is added is to maintain the current players interest(Sinz) who would spend money on all the new items. As for the community toxicity side of it. It has been that way since I started, the only difference is the "nice" people have since quietened down and in the stale nature of the server the only decent action you'll get is a state of constant raids rather than helping for the sake of seeing others flourish.
