These things have already been mentioned in this thread.
Many systems don't require you to play an elf with that lifespan. Just play a young one. Playing a 250 years old level 1 elf is as stupid as playing a wise greybeard wizard that also starts at level 1.
If a system forces one to play an elf that already spend so much time on the planet, and he doesn't get any extra skills for it, then it's a stupid system. Albeit, these are also abstractions and shouldn't be taken too seriously.
It also seems like you haven't read that post. An elf shouldn't just be the best because elf. But because they dedicated their life to increase their skills. Something a young elf is just starting to do.
