I live in a pretty rural area so the only way we can get internet besides dial up is with a Verizon Hotspot. The only problem is that it has a data plan on it (we only have 30 gigs) and they do not offer unlimited usage.
So I went to Walmart last night and picked up the World Of Warcraft Battle Chest 5 because it came with the install discs. When I got home and I popped in the first CD all it did was open Battle.net and started downloading the whole 25 gigabyte game.
What is the point of having two install discs if all it does is direct me to have it download it. I understand that the game is patched a lot but there is no way that it has had 25 gigs of updates since Mists of Pandaria.
Is there a way to install through the disks that I am missing or do I have to download the game?

Yes you do have to download it all. Even if you don't buy the latest expansion it will make you download everything, even if it won't let you see it in game. I know that they upgraded the visuals in WOD so it may be worse than usual now. The expansions in order are:
At 5 GB per DVD 25 GB would be at least 5 discs, are there that many in your war chest?
You could always do what I did and take your computer to a faster, unlimited connection.
