Really?

What about providing the flames for Natsu to beat Gajeel, Vidaldus, Boxlow, convincing the guild to work together to take down the thunder lacrima (anime-only), Angel, Tako-Byro and Kain Hikaru?

And while the fight wasn't significant, the three haircolours vs. treasure hunters was pretty nice too.

Sure most of the time she's just the narator and/or damsel in distress for Natsu to save, but to say she was useless all the time is definitely not true.
