I blame the players. Look at WoW's background. Night elves are large, muscular, hairy and are so attuned to nature that they can end up somewhat feral. Blood elves may be blonde and pretty, but they're also completely addicted to magic and will do anything to get hold of magical energy if they go without for too long. Orcs are intelligent, honourable and have a rich shamanic culture.
Most players (and a lot of the writers that work on Blizzard IP, unfortunately) completely ignore this and go with the usual stereotypes.
I'd rather not see elves gone, just put them into a post-apocalyptic fantasy-scifi setting and I'm happy. Elves with sawed-off shotguns, can it get better?

Pfft.. Shadowrun, Elves with katanas and miniguns..

I'm more sick of elves done poorly :-p , rather than the elves themselves.
Sick of playing Entropia Universe? Want to quit, but don't want your hard earned money to vanish? Give your items to ME :-)
