If you live 100 years, you might work on learning things much quicker then an elf who with a 300+ year lifespan would be inclined to take things slower and live the journy not only the destination. Also when you live as long as an elf, are you going to want to risk dying in some dark cave at  110 years of age.  The real thing to precive though is that no race, not humans not elves not dwarfs, will be living thier lifes in constant conflict unless they seek it out. A very small precantage of the population has pc classes if you look in the dmg. Now I'm pretty sure that elves have a slower birth rate then humans although it might have only been mentioned in second edition or I might be thinking of a book. But that means they are going to have smaller populations so even less pc classes. Not even all those characters with pc classes are going to go seek out danger to gain experince. Some stick to defending their town from weak threats, while others get a taste of danger and decide its not for them.  Basicly long lived races don't rule the world, unless you specifically have a large portion of them seek to gain power as fast as they can. Those that do gain 20th level still have difficulty taking over the world, as humans probally outnumber elves by 2:1 or more likely 3:1 or maybe 4:1.</blockquote>
