An alien civilization that can travel across galaxies is far, far more advanced than us. If you take into account the fact that they would likely have a different form of communication than us, they migh try communicating with us in a way we can't understand, and because we don't respond in a way they can understand they would think we're just primitive.
I mean think about it. If another civilization is completely telepathic, then we wouldn't "hear" their attempts at communication, and we would send them nothing back. Other lifeforms on their planet that aren't as advanced as they are could also be non-telepathic, and so we would be viewed in the same light as those other animals. Primitive.
If they are so smart, they should understand that other lifeforms, living in other conditions may communicate differently.
Also, they could have come for rescources. Like gold for instance; the best conductor of electricity than any other metal known on earth, and it doesnt expand or contract, making it invaluable in space travel.
