It's very possible that you could avoid the quests, I imagine only once you're out of the tutorial zone. The only issue might be phasing of certain areas, but the hired hand thing sounds pretty cool. I'm going to have a character devoted to doing the smaller one-three man quests in the PvP zone to help their associated faction.
