Because Onyxia is a symbolic boss for the entire (veteran) community.

If you don't like it, don't do it. Nobody is forcing you to, and this is already more than they did for last year's anniversary - so get over it. I, for one, as a classic raider thoroughly enjoyed doing the new Onyxia encounter, even though I last did the old one just yesterday. It also brought back a ton of hilarious, pre-BC Onyxia 40-man memories for myself and a lot of the other guys in my raid. It's more than a polar bear cub.

I believe this is a good thing. All the players that missed out on a chance to raid Onyxia in vanilla now get to experience it.
To some extent. Now only end-game players can experience it, whereas in 3.2, any number of <80s could get together and face Onyxia.
I've done a couple of alt-runs into Molten Core. If it was revamped to 80 raid levels, then you lose that ability, thus making the content ultra-exclusive again. So the players that missed out on a chance to raid Onyxia in its original form now miss out until they hit 80 and get raid geared. Is that so much better?

I realy don't get it. Complaints about ToC and now this.
Its FILLER content. They didn't have to give you ANYTHING but they decided to do it anyway, be happy about it cause last time I checked somthing>nothing.
If blizzard wanted to could have left Ulduar where it was and the next raidinstane would have been t9 in the citadel.

Not a symbolic boss?
That's a lot seeing she was the first raid boss.

To some extent. Now only end-game players can experience it, whereas in 3.2, any number of <80s could get together and face Onyxia.While it is technically true, the vast majority of people trying to do Onyxia i've seen belonged to 2 categories :
- a few level 60 trying to recruit several lvl 80s to down her fast for the loot
- level 80 soloing her for nostalgia, T2 helm, maybe taking an alt with them for the loot
In none of those cases did they see the content as it is supposed to be done :
- i can solo her as a moonkin in 15 minutes, doing &*!@ dps because i have to heal myself all the time and keep my mana high enough to be able to keep going through 15 min of combat. A druid tanking the boss in caster is quite far from the original experience
- with several 80, you can probably down her in 1-2 minutes top, you don't even see ph2 because she barely launched and then goes down again.
This is more exclusive, but it forces players to really experience the fight again as it was (though i've heard that she Deep Breathes more often in this new version).
And it brings back old jokes which i do find amusing :)

I think its a Great what to pay homage to The First Major Raid in the game. There are So many Post BC Players, they have No idea how hard this raid was to get together and to do. 1 boss, sure - but Man, what a ^&*!@!
Farming her really didnt add up to much, because they droped the Coin drops to almost Nothing. having a Nice segue to the next X-Pac is cool and creative. I really dont care if it's the 5th year annaversery, I think it was just a cool Idea.
I am sure people will complain when SFK and DM get's upped to 80. There are people who want old content upped, and people that dont.
I believe the 5th Annaversery "treat" is actually the mini Ony PET (like the polar bear) Everyone will get one who loggs in.
re-vamping the Instance as an 80 was more in line with Lore, and starting to Get people back to the Main contenents, pavign theway for cataclysim.

Having done her pre-bc I was happy to see the new updated changes.
The only thing I'm really frustrated with is the drops. Back to the mage helm dropping with no mage in the group..what a waste :(
