There are a few reasons why I brought up the removal of TP from the game. A lot of what happens with our AoE system is going to depend on how this gets implemented.

Right now, every AoE in the game has a resource cost attached. If you bottom out, then you're stuck with single target moves until your resources tick back up. When TP is removed, one of two things could happen: we could see some of these AoE actions become free, or we could see an alternative resource attached in place of TP (i.e. MP).

If TP costs are simply removed, then some odd things happen. PLD's primary dps AoE becomes free (Total Eclipse), and paradoxically cheaper than their zero damage enmity AoE (Flash). WAR's overpower becomes free, giving them better sustain (and bear in mind, Overpower isn't all that far behind Total Eclipse in potency). I think that in order to happen, you'd probably see everyone have a baseline AoE enmity move that was free, with a dps AoE that cost resources to use (i.e. MP for PLD, gauge for WAR, blood for DRK).

If TP costs are replaced with MP costs, then you run into a situation where Flash and Total Eclipse are both competing for the same resource, while the other tanks can spread their resource costs across two different bars. I think this still points to the fact that Flash isn't fun to use, and PLD would benefit from having Total Eclipse moved down to Level 6 as a primary enmity AoE, while gaining a magic-based dps AoE fuelled by MP.

With regards to why WAR can't generate gauge by using AoE moves (be they GCD or oGCD), it's because Decimate provides so much burst, and Steel Cyclone provides so much self-sustain. If you wanted to implement your suggestion fairly, you'd have to give a fairly substantial nerf to both of these abilities, not Overpower. Otherwise, you're running into a situation where you're just buffing WAR's sustained dps without compromising burst at all.

I was going to suggest "World of WARcraft".
