I don't mind non-canon extentions, actually, I expect and welcome them due to the anime being so close to manga. But I want GOOD extensions. For example, Erza vs Azuma had some nice 'filler' stuff which made the fight more dynamic and especially bearable than it was in manga.

They should think twice before changing what actually is canon, showing stuff that shouldn've have been shown due to upcoming events and what not. It ruins what the manga has built up, imo :/

The animation, well, that's the usual problem with long-running shows if their budget isn't high enough. Hell, even Fate/Zero was divided into two seasons of 13 episodes with a few months of break between the seasons so it could keep up the awesome animation it had.

Look at Naruto, that show has different quality and style every second episode. Also, who remembers Naruto vs Deva Path Pein? :P
