Indeed the Numenorians, like you say were far more selfish. They should of just been content with the great things they had already been granted, but alas! even with real men in this world, jealousy is something that runs through the veins of most, and men being men are never content and always desire more (well most men). I just think this could have been avoided altogether if the Eldar were not permitted to visit, regardless of selfishness.
