I don't think they even entered beta yet - it's still alpha as far as i know they pushed back the beta release to 30th nov. I'm confident the whole ganking aspect will balance out when they actually implement proper mechanics and working together makes any sense.
That is pretty much what I figured as well. With the reduced size maps, ability to turn off the foliage, and turn the brightness up it was pretty impossible to try to hide from full time gankers. LOL Plus most of them will get bored and go away after a while. I still plan to spend some time with the game once it goes live and I have some spare time.
