What's the hate against them? In my opinion if you're invading and forcing your way into a world you're gonna get ganked by a lot by coopers. Do you really expect to find a ton of solo players who don't know how to pvp? Put your sign down and if you still get ganked well bad on them.
I'm a frequent invader and deal with gankers all the time. I have no problem with them.

I have 2 PvP characters: a cosplay (cheap AF but fun/funny) and a full set Darkwraith. Both of which I use on a rotating basis. Most of the time I get into gank lobbies. I tell you this; chameleon and/or WoG fix that issue very well. Cloak upon entry, wait for backup (under protection covenants). Backup pulls gank squad to you, WoG or force the fools. Backup usually takes one out. Now they scatter. Each take on one. No more gank squad. Duel host. Or just R1 spam the mofos with a spear/rapier and be done with it. I have also been summoned into gank groups via white sign. Know what I do? I use my great shield to block the host from going back or lay prism stones leading to their hiding place. Sometimes even draw enemies over to join the invader. I do not support gank squads, unless they are even numbers.
