I too prefer to have the Dragon fights extended (or rather made existant...), but I'd even more prefer it for those filler scenes to make sense and not contradict the manga.

In the manga each guild was sent to a different place to fight by themselves and they were places at strategic points chosen by the King (or more likely his military advisers). In the anime it seems as if each guild can just run to whereever they want to be without any coordination or strategy.
