It may have started with Tolkien, but it was perpetuated in Warcraft. Apart from some volunteers and token support, the Elves only really got into the Second War when their scouting parties got imprisoned and their lands got invaded and burned.
Again in Warcraft III, though you have volunteer Priests and Sorceresses, lore says that Quel'thalas had left the Alliance. This doesn't change until, low and behold, Quel'thalas gets invaded again. Only moreso.
That's twice in a row, not wanting to get involved in the continent's affairs until they get invaded themselves. 
EDIT: Curses, ninja'd!
As far as the Draenei go... I don't really understand what's going on with them, so I find it easier to just imagine that they don't exist.
