The story is great, but it blatantly gets in the way of the rest of the game

I would keep it simple, quest to 15, unlock the dungeons. At each level cap you unlock flying in that expansion's content and the next expansions dungeons. Once you are 80 you can start the EW quest line starting with the first quest released with the EW. This should also apply to all expansions actually, so if you get to SB for example and want to play through that you can.

thats kinda what i was getting at with you unlocking the previous expansions NG+/ unlocking the next area it jumps your story position to the starting quest of the new expansion so when you skip post ARR and get to ishgard for example you have a new quest in the top left corner that show the first HW quest instead of whatever quest you were on

Yeah I was kinda of summarizing it, and tacking on the flying, I would even say aetheryte crystals as well.
I doubt with out rewriting some sort of code, it would let you do the first HW quest while having an ARR MSQ quest. With how poorly designed this game is as a whole I would not be surprised if it caused some sort of flag that wouldn't allow you to pick up 2 MSQ quests, or cause some sort of issue allowing you to trigger the MSQ for HW. Which is why it should more or less maybe a per expansion option that starts with the first quest, and you can either not do the MSQ and grind how ever you want, or you can do the MSQ but you are in it to completion. That would be the lazy way to do it atleast, the correct way would be fix the problems that may be caused due to the flags, but that won't happen. We can't even get hats on bunnies yet.

Um... you know that's what the Story Skip actually does, right?

ah yes cause i should pay more on the fact i have a monthly subscription and paid a BASE PRICE for the game/expansion to get access to content i PAID for already i can understand paying to skip (or progress faster) in a F2P game but when you're already asking for money and then more money on top of that you have no right to be locking anything game related behind paywalls (yes cosmetics emotes and mounts etc.. i'd also debate against but it's not nearly as bad as most other games we've had before *cough* anthem *cough*. plus alot of the stuff is from in game events that do cycle through every now and again) (and no expansions should still cost money cause thats brand new content not stuff that was made years ago and they already bundle all of the older expansions in with the current expansion bundle so thats fine) if i want to skip straight to EW by PLAYING THE GAME. by golly i paid for the game so i'm going to skip to EW for free using a sped up leveling/content unlock system and not spending money on a story skip and level boost.
