What's wrong with puckish, rouge-like elves that are the equivalent of Han Solo with pointy ears?
Because they banned the worship of Talos in my homeland!
OT: Mainly the Talos thing. Also, I murdered some elves all Archer-like and then the Jarl of Whiterun (as well as a couple shopkeepers) tried to murder my face, even AFTER I Thaned my way out of the bounty (apparently there was a witness).

I voted other, because well, I don't hate them. They can be just a tad overdone in fantasy literature, movies and games, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't have a place there at all either. Look at the Witcher series or Dragon Age: Origins to see what can be done with elves with only a small twist.

My general interpretation of an elf is: age-immortal, beautiful and generally gentle (or well reasoned in their actions)
I don't hate those elves, but I often hate the context that they're in.
Usually they're a dying race, and they are frequently killed / tortured,
this usually leaves me feeling sad, in the same way one might feel sad watching an ancient work or art being desecrated / destroyed.

I'm going to list different races of Elves and what I dislike about them:
Kaldorei:
The Night Elves of Azeroth have always preached of peace and love like the hippies they are, but won't hesitate to murder the hell out of anybody different than them. Also their banning of magic was completely stupid, despite the reason why.
Sin'Dorei:
The effeminate males and overtly luxurious lifestyle, combined with the unspeakable things they've done in the past, irritates me. It's really the men I don't like because of their self-obsessed nature, and while the women are mostly the same, they come off as much stronger and focused.
Aldmeri Dominion:
Self-worshipping, arrogant, genocidal bastards who either kill or conquer anybody different than themselves, thinking themselves superior, doing unspeakable things to get what they want and continuing to do so through fear, oppression and self-importance. There's nothing good about these people.
Hunting them is the most fun I've had in Skyrim, especially when I see a group walking along and I can hide and shoot all three before they see me.
Meanwhile in Tamriel, I don't have a problem at all with Wood or Dark elves.
But, the Snow Elves in Skyrim - I hate the Falmer. I hunt them like animals - they kidnap people and feed them to their giant bug monsters. Genocidal hate, kill 'em all.

If done the way I envision it being done they would be nothing like jar jar. More like the motley crew of the serenity.rhizhim said:

I don't really hate elves, but I suppose that's because I haven't had much interaction with their trope outside of Lord of the Rings and Warcraft III/Frozen Throne, both of which have neutral to good characterization of the species and their conflicts/culture/whatever.
