I must admit that this final arc was lackluster in terms of proper story telling but it definitely did not lack any drama or action. The power of friendship is this series' bread and butter since Day One so expecting something different is practically telling the author to change his views. Like Fairy Tail, Hiro stuck with his ideals which I applaud him for that even if it doesn't make exceptional stories.It really can make exceptional stories though. Take HxH for example. The bromance between Gon and Killua runs deep. Even the avenger Kurapika put his revenge scheme on hold for the sake of his friends. Leorio is a goddamn sweetheart. The four of them would fight to the death for each other. Most importantly, Togashi knows not to rely on that.
I'm not saying you can't like Fairy Tail. I liked it once too. Tartaros was good, as was the early arcs. GMG was meh though, thanks to Sting. It's just that Mashima really doesn't know how to write. He can draw though. Pretty damn well.

Ankseram seems to be just contradictory curse and it was use good by Mavis to defeat Zeref so nothing more to it
as for the rest all that seems to me you are expecting more other than just accepting what the story gives, im sure you will hate Bleach manga more then since a lot of Bankai for example was not shown and fans are forgetting the business side of things too like Bleach manga declining sales so it was end prematurely, so you got to ask is Fairy Tail manga still has increasing sales? its not only the mangaka that is at fault But it could have been soooooo good though. That's why it sucks. All these things I'm throwing out could have made for awesome stories.
You're right in that the hype train for this series ran harder than Mashima was willing to put out.
