You do realized they are bundled as a package and no where does it say you have to complete ARR's story line just a cryptic reference to "suffecient progress" in the early access section.

This is all kinds of false. There is a bundle but they can also be purchased seperatly. There's a statement telling you the exact quest that needs to be completed to access HW content. The OP could have waited until he completed the quest the buy HW.
