Does Anyone Enjoy Territory Wars?
Am I the only one that would like to see them done away with and just have a Zeta or 2 added to the Territory Battle rewards?

No it's not my favorite thing to do in game.
The trouble is, it often isn't a close war. Of the last six wars I can recall, four have had my guild matched up against one 10 mil+ gp beyond us, and even though they've been down a few members compared to us, the difference in the number of high-quality teams the rest of their guild had showed, and we didn't feel like we had much chance, which is depressing and makes you not want to bother with them. One was the other way around, where we were more powerful than our opponents, and won easily, which was a nice contrast for us, but surely **** for them. Only one was one of the good ones with an evenly matched opponent.
If the matchmaking produced those even wars more often than not, I'd probably like the mode. As-is, I do kind of dread it, worrying about getting one of those depressing matches where we're just going to get overpowered. Granted, at least the rewards are good even on a loss, but still, it's just not fun in those cases.
LS and DS TBs has become pretty routine. Same goes for regular and fleet arena. TWs and the Sith Triumvirate raid are the things that are still challenging for me.
This is exactly why they should have left the "more defensive teams deployment" in place. Now, at the high(ish) levels (125+ GP or more) each territory is 25 of the same team. So you fight once, then wait for your guildies to each fight once. Lot's of fun in a multi-national guild. (that was sarcasm). The change to the score system also encourages this style of both offense and defense, because it only makes sense to attack if you can with 5 remaining characters - especially if someone else in your guild can. It absolutely discourages creativity and strategy.
TB is more fun now - especially since the two changes.

It leave me and my guild very insecure when TW rolling. It clearly show that anti-cheater system not work. They rely on player report.

TW is great and even better with more than 25 teams standard...
Tw is my favorite part of the game. But I agree with you more defensive deployments is needed.
I realize that balancing the game for people who have been playing for two and half years at the same as people who have been playing for two and half months can be a challenge, as what works for one group, won't work for another.
The idea of scaling the number of teams needed was a good one - they just needed to tweak the numbers (higher GP guilds for more teams) as it was clearly too low for lower GP guilds. But instead of adjusting things based on feedback, they scrapped the entire thing all together, and instead introduced the unnecessarily complex scoring system.
I don't usually question CG's motives (operative word is "usually") - but it sometimes feel that they wield a sledge hammer at times when a pair of tweezers would be sufficient. The intention is good - but the execution is often rushed, bugged, incomplete, or some combination.
The same thing happened with the raid rewards - and it's "fix". But there's an entire mega-thread for that, so I won't derail this discussion of TW.
