 The One Ring: The White Council :: View topic - How did the Valar Err?
What occurs to me reading your responses is that the Valar with their wisdom derived from the experience of living many ages in Arda, knew that for themselves, they needed a home or homeland that was free from evil in order to endure their immortality.
But the Valar did not allow the Elves to discover these things themselves, which would be a large part of their contribution to the music - ultimately fulfilled by the Exiles.
The Valar may have had some selfish motives for doing so, such as the desire to enjoy the beauty of the Eldar, but their primary motivation seems to have been protection, sharing and enlightenment.

 The Middle-Earth Prophecies
When the Valar cursed the Noldor, they could not be compelling the Noldor to commit further evil, which the Noldor did, but rather, they had to be unfettering the Children from whatever graces their association with the Valar had bestowed upon them.
In speaking of the Valar's refusal to intervene directly in Beleriand before the end of the First Age, Tolkien suggests that "the last intervention with physical force by the Valar, ending in the breaking of Thangorodrim, may then be viewed as not in fact reluctant or even unduly delayed, but timed with precision.
The Valar were thus not always acting on the basis of foreknowledge, or foresight, but at least on some occasions -- especially after much Time had passed -- on the basis of their own deliberations.

The Valar gave these vessels to Varda to make them into lamps of heaven, and she set them to voyage on appointed courses from the West into the East and to return.
Though of course the Valar are always part of later stories, they take a lesser role of watchers and guides while Elves and Men take on the adventures and the keeping away of evil from Middle-earth.

It was revoked (perhaps a misleading term) by the Valar Project themselves for this one book (and its preview) pre-emptively and in recognition of potentially inevitible revocation of Valar Project licensing of the d20 STL by WotC.
Through this approach the Valar Project might preserve the ability to utilize the d20 STL for future projects should the Valar Project deem their own material in some future releases does not jeopardize revocation of Valar Project d20 trademark licensing through WotC.

Later in the Second Age, emissaries of the Valar were sent to Numenor in a failed attempt to explain the Valar’s position on the banning of humans from the Undying Lands and the Valar perspective on human death and their own immortality.
If the Valar are all free agents trying to figure out everything based upon their ability to comprehend us, then it is conceivable that they can accidently work against each other with a bunch of different plans.
If the Valar have the same problem, compounded by the fact that their powers and perceptions are more limited, they might reach the conclusion that their attempts to shape human affairs are often ill-founded because of this lack of comprehension.
