^ This.

It's not that players are becoming "too entitled". It's just that stuff like Dungeon Finder, Dual Specs, Aesthetic slots etc. could be considered "Gifts from the Gods (devs)" in 2004, but in this new era of MMO's those things are just taken for granted.

Every new game has these stuff, and by not including it WoW would become even more dated, people would jump ship to the cool new games, WoW sales decrease.. you get the point.

The jaded veterans may complain, but if WoW existed today in it's 2004 incarnation, very few people would play it (probably only the few "true good gamers" who don't fall to the seduction of the "new casual crap MMO's").

My point is: It's only fair to take these things for granted, because that's how the market works. It's definitely not a false sense of "entitlement".
