The Warcraft Elf Theory:

Given that there are at least a dozen Elves of any variety, they will wreck ultimate destruction and chaos on the world, doom it and its inhabitants (and, by extension, themselves). At which point, they will look back on this travesty and go, "well, crap, that was stupid". However only when they realize this does another one go and inexplicably and unquestionably repeat the process all over again.

... WHY DO WE KEEP THESE GUYS AROUND AGAIN?

It's not that they do it deliberately. It's just that they're... not very good at the epic protagnist role that they've been assigned.

There's basically two Nelf war scenarios.

Wait around until someone impressive comes and helps. Entire Dragon Flights, Rhonin, More Dragon Flights, More Rhonin, Broxgar I guess...

If that doesn't work, they've given so much magical plot device crap that the moment that any sort of problem arises, their first instinct is to throw it at things in the hope that it puts it stop to it.

Wells of Eternity, Immortality Trees, Scepters of the Shifting Sands, Cenarius.

All things they've sploded on someone in an effort to try and get rid of their problems if said problems looked like they'd take more than an afternoon to solve.

Elf Plan Omega: Blow up some ancient store of magic, see if that cures the problem.
