Gamervision writes:
"Gearbox has made their love of Diablo clear while working on Borderlands. They've straight-up said that they tried their best to copy the loot system, and the game can definitely be described as "Diablo with guns."

Borderlands trade system may change if people want it to

360 - Borderlands - Borderlands trade system may change if people want it to

Gearbox Studios isn't opposed to changing the way people exchange loot in the fascinating RPS, Borderlands. The catch is that the crew behind the game will move in whatever direction the community wants to in the future -- not now.
