Maybe the elves were truley ontop of their game, at the highest they could (or wanted to) go. In medieval times people probably said "this is as good as it gets, there is nothing higher than were we are." But, Lo, empires fall, new nations arise and here we are today. We might think were at the top, but who knows how different things will be in the future. Maybe the elves were simply as high as they could go on their own, at least in ME. i cant see elves ever building great steel and glass cities like we've constructed...

Also, how long were the elves in ME from say, their rebellion against the valar to the reshaping of the world after the war of wrath? There probably isnt anything definate written, but maybe someone has read some letter I havent.
