The elves lost much of their power and prominence as their numbers in Middle-earth dwindled, and they no longer had great armies such as they had in the First Age, or the years of the Stars before Men walked the land. They are simply weary of staying in one place for so long, and figure that since they are leaving, much of what is going on is not their problem. Elrond and Galadriel and Glorfindel, for example, know better, but some of the Elves just want out, it seems.
