For me the trading company stuff, while not exactly exciting, was still nice. It showed us the current state of the world, showed us the rules of this "new world" and it showed us what became of all the characters during the timeskip.

I'm not so hung up on fighting, so I can enjoy a relatively long stretch of world-building and besides, Magi hasn't exactly been a fight-oriented standard shounen series to begin with.

The last few developments did seem a bit rushed, but I'm a Fairy Tail reader so I'm used to rushed bits. ^^
