Default Re: Elves as "closer to nature and lower-tech" - give them a revulsion to metal?

Technology is all about making life more convenient to live. Armor would be light and flexible, no need for heavy plate. weapons would be want can be made from nature, spears and bows, no need for anything fancier. Building made from mud, clay, and wood. Want tall buildings? Use taller trees. This does not even take into account magic which would make things easier. They don't wipe out other races cause they are all about living as one and not spreading over the world.

Those would be my reasons.
