How strict would the self-ban be, though?

For me the issue would not so much be the Valar's inability to help--but the fact that, if they did help, the Third Age would end just the same as the First and Second--with a cataclysm of epic proportions that would hurt the very people it was trying to help.

Not to mention that then, if the "rescuing army" didn't get too big for its britches, the Peoples of Middle-earth would simply sit on their hands and wait for another miracle when the Next Evil Thing since Sliced Bread cropped up on their doorstep.
