The best loot comes from hard modes, not just Yogg-Saron

I'm alright with it as long as Blizzard keeps with the progression trends. A 10-man raid geared with items from Ulduar-10 should be able to do hard modes. You shouldn't have to be running the 25-mans to get gear just to do the hard modes on 10-man content. And it's alright to require you have everything the best it can be from Ulduar to do the hard modes.

I agree 100% and I hope this is true.

WTB a Bliz response to this.

Judging purely from the iLevels involved in the drops, this is exactly the design. Being geared out to Ulduar-10 non-hard mode levels will put you at the appropriate gear level to then try Ulduar-10 hard modes. Ulduar-25 gear would make you slightly OVERGEARED for the Ulduar-10 hard modes. (I couldn't tell you whether the boss fights actually bear this design out, though, as I am not in a guild that is anywhere close to doing Ulduar hard modes.)

Besides - Blizz has said time and again that the whole point of normal vs. heroic raids is to avoid the Burning Crusade trap of having to progress in one raid size before you can progress in the other. Given that, it seems unlikely they would design the 10-man Hard fights to require drops from 25-man raids.
