I think it's a really good idea to limit how often you can swap out players. Maybe 1 every 2 weeks? I'm also completely for not making it guild vs guild only. There are plenty of decent PVP players who aren't in a guild. This can also allow guilds to scout out those who aren't in a guild and maybe connect with them.
On a separate note, I really hope that you'll look at different 'themes' for the ladders. Maybe a 'no enchant' ladder, t1 gear only, t2 gear only, so on. I love the rainbow team idea. I'd also like to see a 'stack what you will' set, just to see what people would do if they could maximize what they consider the goto thing for stacking in a match.

YES! This is something I personally am really looking forward to implementing! It's very simple to create as many ladders as we want and a single member can be a member of as many teams as they want (though cannot be on multiple teams on the same ladder of course).
A stripped down gear ladder will defiantly be something the site will be launched with, and a "whatever comp you want" is something we have thought about as well (though I think we may have to make gear rules for this too, no one wants to fight 5 rank 10 GWF's =P)
We will also be running tourneys every now and so would love to hear more ideas on these lines.
I'm glad to help. I'm looking forward to the results as I know I'll be entering all my 60s into the game.
That said, why not have a completely 100% open ended set up? Let those who gain all that gear strut their stuff against others who do the same. if they want 5 GWFs with rank10s in everything, go for it. There's a counter to the GWF anyways. I say let them push that edge. It'll be the ultimate test of 'how strong is this' and how to stop it.. maybe dissapate some of the QQ it's a gwf-dom out there.
I think that we should also have tournaments where the position is selected based on your position in the ladder. I think that no matter what happens with the ladder, people are going to want to see a good, old fashioned tourney to really decide who is currently the best

Thanks for posting!

.. but that's just me.
