Borderlands is boring because it's 30% shooting, 30% dumb boring plot that never goes anywhere interesting, and 30% reviewing stats on dropped loot.
I object to the second one if you're referring to Borderlands 2. If you're talking about the original Borderlands no objection.
I will accede that I played through BL1 and only put like 3 hours into BL2 because it felt like a less-engaging, FPS Diablo 2 and couldn't hold my attention.

I wish Warframe didn't make me literally ill to play
And ya'll say the Mister Torgue knows explosions
he's pretty good at explosions, I'll give you that
but he's small time by Tenno standards
most of his guns shoot one rocket at a time, at a fairly slow rate of fire
his best work is a shotgun that shoots three swords that explode into other swords, and that's pretty awesome
but the Tenno say a pistol that fired rockets and could empty its entire three round clip in one blast
and we said
"not enough explosions"
and so now my angstrum can shoot 15 rockets at once, each which has a high chance to poison the enemy or explode a second time
I built an automatic crossbow recently, and I looked upon it and said
"this'd be better if it was also a GMG"
and so it was a GMG, and I saw it was good
my freaking revolver's shots have a 50/50 chance to explode, and it's not even normally an explosive weapon
we have a rocket launcher that's also a stealth weapon
the arrows that our railguns that are pretending to be bows shoot have a chance to expode
basically Torgue explodes hard, but Tenno explode harder

95% of the guns in borderlands 2 are butt by default, so any complaints that you're spending too much time checking guns just shows that you are not using said guns

Less trash gear would really help Borderlands 2

ignore greens and whites
ignore dahls and tediores
ignore non-torgue ARs
ignore non-vladof pistols
Now Dahl pistols are actually really good, and some of their snipers are quite killy if you can work around their weird burst fire. Personally I just stick to Torgue or Hyperion pistols. Torgue has low enough recoil and a slow enough fire rate that you can actually fire with using the sights without running into problems with accuracy, and Hyperion pistols get to maximum accuracy fast and carry it over between reloads. The HUD's sights are a lot easier to use, and with the accuracy of a Hyperion pistol you're a headshot machine. Their lower base DPS is made up for by that headshot bonus.

Also sweet Jesus India have been utterly trounced and mugged and fucked silly in the last test. Sunil Gavaskar can barely contain his contempt and disappointment.
Were I to decide how to handle loot in the next Borderlands games, I'd just have it be that around the start of each story section, you'd get to order an assortment of guns to your specifications that would have the right killiness for challenging and fun gameplay throughout said section, and then in that section, there'd be a loot crate or two that would typically hold a single higher quality gun. So if you like it, you get a cool gun that's a bit killier than your other guns, but if you don't want to use it, you can just use your other guns that will still be fun to use throughout that section.

My own mortality has caught up to me, no more time to waste on silly trivialities like video
maybe i'm streaming terrible dj right now if i am its here
i checked it at 3hrs in last night and it was totally delicious and primed for consumption
but then i was like
1) oh i should leave it the whole night, people say more time in a slow cooker is better and
2) i should add the other half of the tomato paste, i don't want to waste it and i guess a little sweetness wouldn't be bad?
then i woke up and saw it had turned into sort of a sludge, there's no standing liquid in the bottom at all and it's a bit too sweet, not as tasty
: (

should have just taken it off the heat at 3hrs and tossed the paste, it was perfect

The loot whore aspect of Borderlands is like 99 percent of the appeal.
I suppose making loot interesting in Diablo-clones is non-trivial. I can't think of a good way to do it.
There's not a good way to do it other than incentivizing picking it up anyway. Marvel Heroes does this by not only letting you sell trash to a vendor, but more importantly you can donate it to a crafter to level up that crafter's skills so you can craft more stuff.

that was the best
Fix'd
That would mean only 50 gazillion guns instead of 600 zimarillion guns

yeah
bl1 was actually better in this respect
a higher % of loot was acceptable
bl2 has an absolute ridiculous morass of terrible weapons

i do not have high hopes for the pre-sequel.
I play a lot of marvel heroes
Now I don't even see grays, greens and blues, I only see purples and yellows.
I think i can think of good ways, but that's just me.

It's not the best solution but it helps.
