Possible level/story jumps....really?

I thought Cash Shop was going to be glamour based only. Is this game going to turn into pay2win as well as sub based?

there was a nice thread about how the chinese cash shop already does this stuff, given the reality that the playerbase pays by the hour, etc i can somewhat understand this, its a different demographic. But what was shared about those level jump skip to heavensward tomes purchasable by the cash shop just makes me sick. I am actually very dissuaded because the easiest way to do this for the expac is just copy paste whats already there from their cash shop. To me, i find this disgusting, but since its already there, it probably will be easy for them to laze out and do the same come 4.0.
edit: I would allow skip 2-3.x put the proper job npcs at the level 30, and allow pilot. introductory quests, starting at level 15, with a 60 variant. Allow partied instances at level sync to the the lowest level pt member but allow completion for either version, by the time "endgame" hits new players should hit max level alongside veterans, thats how i see them doing story but thats my opinion on the matter. Story needs more group involvement, and less hindrance and exclusion.
