It's like additional stuff thats streamed in from the new launcher. THeres 3 sections for it, the first section of files are needed in order to even start WoW, the next section is I guess the gemoertry of lands and stuff, you can play without it, but you'll have longer load times for instances and other things. The last part is some other stuff like items maybe? Idk... I'm sure it's explained somewhere better lol.
