two people could completely turn their chars into matching gank chars with same skin, name and sex, which in my mind is pretty cool and could fire things up a bit.

Ha! I've done that before. Same name, same character model, same colors, same armor, etc. It's a nice gimmick and it's harder for them to focus a single person down.

You can still do this. Just have a partner, or multiple people, all make new toons, pick magery and some combat skills, then macro up the rest of your PVP skills over like a week. Seems like a lot, but then you have those characters forever and you have a gank toon that people won't connect to your main.
