State of Affairs

That's your opinion, all the aforementioned things are what require mechanical play
It's not an opinion, it's a fact.

The only mechanical "skill" required for WoW is pressing your buttons and due to the GCD that isn't exactly challenging, everything else is decision making / game knowledge.

Actual mechanical skills in games are things like micro'ing in StarCraft or kiting in LoL.

mechanic is how something works in a game

casting is a mechanic in world of warcraft

fake-casting is abusing the casting mechanic correctly

Decision making for example is deciding which route you take when FC'ing or what kind of strategy you decide to run against certain combos or players

game knowledge for example is knowing where exactly a rogue is in stealth without actually seeing him

You were talking about improving your mechanics (aka mechanical skill), not your knowledge about game mechanics.

Fake casting, interrupting, FC routes are all based on your game knowledge or experience, not on your mechanics.

I'll get ya blue post explaining to you if fake-casting is a mechanic of the game or not and if you can better at said mechanic that is fake-casting or not
otherwise i can't see this discussion spawning any more intelligent or interesting arguements

have a nice day :)
 
Again, for the extremely dense people among us:

Being good at certain ingame mechanics =/= being good mechanically / having good mechanics.
 
Once again, EU thread devolving into a debate on correct word use and grammar. Half of us don't even use English in real life. Fair enough getting it right is important, but we all know what people mean without nitpicking their word choice.

With respect to making a new ally guild on a diff server, I could definitely manage it in the short term, but it wouldn't be sustainable as Id need to stop playing when I go back to university after Christmas, and I don't want people wasting money on multiple factions / transfers for no reason.

In this case it wasn't clear since Trialdruid himself didn't even know that there is a difference.

edit: It had nothing to do with grammar either.
