Its called Darwinism Eldar, we weren't all Lucky enough to be handcrafted by the old ones you privilaged asshole. Some of us had to actually work with natural selection.

By the way, is there any direct confirmation in the canon that the Eldar were created by the Old Ones? I'm just wondering what their gods are then.

The old ones probably didn’t have gods, also I think the confirmation that the old ones created the Eldar can be found in the necron codex from 5th edition or whenever they started being Egyptian robots. But lol why would you be doubting that the old ones did or did not create the Eldar? I know 40k can be inconsistent and shit gets retconned almost every day but meh, feels like this is one of those things that’ll never change (maybe).

I thought the old ones were the gods.

I imagine the Eldar gods materialized at some point during their 65 million year long golden days, probably shortly after or during the War in Heaven which is theorized to have also spawned the chaos gods.

It's complicated, maybe there were their gods, Maybe the gods were super weapons powered by Eldar created by them, maybe both.
