Preface: I have over 500 hours and 12k items looted. I played the first 100-120 hours in WT4 and the remainder in WT5. Out of 12k+ items looted, I have a full stash and ~70 items in my inventory. This means in over 500+ hours of play only 220 items were worth keeping out of over 12,000 items looted. Sad!
The fact that I still have WT4 items in my inventory after playing 380+ hours in WT5 is an absolute joke.
I've commented on numerous occasions that WT4 gear had better attributes and that gear score is irrelevant to the quality of the build. There's always a few posters who think they know it all and swear that 500GS/heroic drops are the best in the game. To them I offer a challenge. Show me a 500GS chest piece that has higher attributes than this one:

For the record I waited until I could move the 21.5% head shot dmg without getting capped and the chest piece that was sacrificed had a 450GS. The most head shot dmg I have on a WT5 chestpiece is 20%.
Now I don't claim to have max rolls on any particular piece of gear. I'm simply showing off the best attributes I've been able to get on gear after playing as much as I have and how the WT4 gear has better attributes than WT5 gear.
Here's a 450 gear score holster with 14% CHD, critical talent and an offensive mod slot:

Compare that to this WT5 holster with 14% CHC, no talent and an offensive mod slot:

Quick sidenote: The devs nerfed surgical and critical from 8% to 5%. Why? What's the point of running critical to get 5% CHD when devastating gives 5% AWD and doesn't require a critical hit? Idiotic!
Next up is a 454 GS holster with 793 skill power.

Compare that to this 499 GS holster with 683 skill power:

Now I know what you're thinking. the 499 GS holster has a talent which is why the skill power is lower. Very true, however I kept that holster not because of the talent but because it was the highest skill power on a glove I was able to find in WT5.
I could keep going but I'm not going to bore you with the contents of my inventory. Again, I'm not claiming to have maxed gear, I'm making a point that after spending 380+ hours in WT5 the fact that I still have WT4 gear and have had to use WT4 gear to cap attributes on WT5 gear is very telling of how poor the looting system is.
I had way better 19 and 450-475 gear than pretty much anything that drops at 500. Stupid me for assuming 500 > 450 and deleting all my stuff! Blue mods are better at level 19-20 than 500 gold mods, it seems to be a theme in this game, the higher level you get, the worst the gear is. Whomever thought I would rather have a +.0.5 WD, +2 Shotgun DMG and +2 Rifle DMG mod, rather than a +5 or +6 AR DMG mod, is an idiot and has no clue how their game works.
Low level mods aren't better, the problem is they are generic and your stats don't change corresponding to which mod you use but what slot you put it into. That doesn't make any sense. You want to use LMG damage generic system mod in your utility system slot? Sure, but here's a red stat. Done and dusted. 5oogs Offensive system mods can roll with 4%WD and 8,5% specific wd so they are better, they just don't drop as often.
