These Scrabble "improvements" actually sound like a calculated
decision to take the competition out of the game entirely, which is
essentially the whole point of it. I can hardly wait until Jeopardy
follows this path and the whole point of the game is for ALL THREE
PLAYERS TO WIN by collaborating to clear the board!
 

I wouldn't mind if they gave a bonus for clearing the board but what
you describe would be absurd.

That's basically my point: it is as absurd to collaborate with other
Scrabble players as it would be to collaborate with other Jeopardy
players.
