Eowyn; what loftier concerns? Name some.
Yes, the Elves still had dealings with Men. And Lothlorien and Thranduil's realm in Mirkwood were both attacked two or three time during the War of the Ring; the Elves weren't inactive during the War. They defended their homes when they were attacked, but they didn't send any troops to aid Gondor. They should have, really, Elrond and Cirdan especially.
I don't think Elrond would have abandoned Middle-Earth, as if it was no longer his concern. He sent the Company. however he sent no aid. That's what gets me.
