Hello everyone, I played ARR back in April or May of last year but I did not really get into the gameplay so I stopped playing (a waste of the free 30 day trial) but I have decided to give this game another go. I am thinking about playing a tank class but I do not know if I will have a hard time adjusting from the mouse/keyboard to a PS3 controller.

Hopefully I will stay a lot longer then before because the game is very nice to look at.

Do I really need to avoid a lot of the side quests, in case I play another class in that same area?
