Seriously? My raid can't be the only ten people in the universe who think activating hard modes right now is crazy fun (not to mention much more lore-realistic). We only have the DPS to start XT-002's hard mode around 1/4 of the time, but even when we fail it's still a blast.

Ulduar had some good, not so good, and bad hardmodes.

Good---

Mimiron: Push the big red button to activate. Nice and simple.
Freya: Kill x Elders to make it easier.
Yogg: With 0-4 helpers. Works fine.

Decent---

Thorim: It was okay, but if for some reason (during the early raids) you wanted to do the easy mode, the gauntlet group had to wait for a minute or so until Sif left.

Iron Council: Okay too, but not very intuitive "why does killing the big guy last give you better loot??!?"

Horrible---

Hodir: "No no no STOP DPS STOP DPS WE'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT. Aww **** now it died, no hardmode for us this week. Sooo stupid, and making the encounter a lot harder AFTER one guild had already done it was extra stupid.

So yeah, being able to activate hard modes simply from the UI sounds pretty nice to me.

Three other good ones:

XT-002 - Nuke the heart to 0 health, then watch as Tantrums begin to wipe your raid.

Flame Levaithan - Speak to the Lore Keeper of Norgannon. Then destroy 0 - 3 towers depending on the hardmode you will attempt.

Freya - Leave 1 - 3 Elders alive, then engage Freya.
