We do a fair amount of PvE content ICly in Mysterium, and while we're largely lower level at this point, what we've taken to doing is explaining mechanics IC. Taking Halatali's Glaive boss as an example, one of the Apprentices identified the creature and commented that his coloration implied a certain elemental aspect; the others concurred and thought it might be Lightning, in which case standing in the water could be fatal. Then someone mentioned that they detected an Aetheric disturbance that might provoke the appearance of corrupted elementals when the glaive begins charging.
Of course, we only do this in our own groups, not with non-RPers -- where we usually treat /party as OOC and just don't speak IC in the group. That said, among RPers, it's entirely possible to do content IC with a bit of improv work.
That said, we do have an OOC LS for discussions among players, and everyone understands that sometimes you have to go OOC to clarify game mechanics.
