In the game, if you ranked the races players hated most, the Eldar would unquestionably take the top spot.
Duanmu Huai hated the Tau mostly because their tactics were incompatible with his own.
But players hated the Eldar more on a racial level.
In a word, humans and the Eldar both looked down on each other.

The Eldar had created the Obsessive Sin, awakening the other three Evil Gods and causing countless wars and deaths.
From a player's perspective, every Eldar should have promptly killed themselves and atoned to the lives across the galaxy who had been slain by the Evil Gods.
Instead, they shamelessly clung to life—and still had the nerve to regard themselves as a superior civilization?
