How often do these races happen? I don't watch or participate but from what I understand, the answer is "Not very often." Let people have the damn things, they don't inconvenience you that much.

I used to do them, when it was possible to get a team together. We never got very far, but it was fun. Now, with the new races, they are designed for Elite teams and streamers. Pushed out anyone else just attempting for fun. Now I don't know anyone who even cares. The only thing I'd say now is stop wasting limited developer time on the races, and designing new mechanics for a model noone plays, fix the basics.

I've been interested in giving Day 1's a try but to be completely honest, I'm simply not that good. I get your point, although I can't say how much time and resources go into these things. Would every bit serve the game better if it was spent on fixing the real issues? Possibly, but outside of Bungie who's to say what sort of positive impact on the overall game removing the races would really present.
