No, we're not counting moving for mechanics. Yes, we are counting moving to his positionals. This is because moving to hit positionals is literally pressing a button to increase DPS against a stationary target, and therefore counts as an action to any reasonable person.

If you mean more in general, APM means means "Actions Per Minute," or how often you need to hit buttons every minute. The reason this is relevant is because the claim that FFXIV's GCD is so slow hinges upon the belief that combat in general is too slow. Anyone can easily go look up some of the faster jobs in this game and find out that, no, it's really not much slower than a game like WoW. It is slower in general, and some jobs are much slower than WoW equivalents, some of them can keep up with the faster WoW jobs.
