their arrogance is pretty monumental, but human arrogance is right up there alongside it.

technically the old ones are to blame for every death caused by any daemonic entity since they're the ones who 'broke' warp space in the first place, allowing daemonic entities to come into existence.

and though the eldar are attributed as being the major contributor to slaanesh's birth, any act of selfish sensation-seeking/sensual depravity from any sentient species, including humans, contributed.

i don't know if it's been changed as this is fairly old info, but humans were attributed as being the major contributor to khorne's birth around the (earth's) middle ages. and khorne has killed way more than slaanesh ever could.

but since every chaos god only exists because of the old ones, then neither eldar or humans are truly responsible for slaanesh or khorne. but both species have serious superiority issues which essentially makes them children going "mine's better than yours. just because... na na nana na." :P

personally i think human arrogance is far more unfounded than eldar arrogance. humans have been butchering their way through the galaxy because they believe it's their "manifest destiny", and while the eldar maybe weren't the most humble of rulers their empire was home to many different species. arrogant? undisputed for both species. tolerant? eldar yes, and we know exactly how tolerant the imperium is... :P
