Am I missing something?

Hey all,
Returning player here. (For context, the last time I played was Shadowlands.)

I was interested in jumping into the Classic MoP as it held a lot of nostalgia for me, but was weary of the grind of a new character. I saw that they had a boost option for $96AUD. But then I saw that I can upgrade my retail game to the latest expansion and get a boost for $83AUD… Does anyone know the justification for this, or is it them just trying to get returning players back into retail?

Its the latter. They’re trying to get people to play Retail.
