I don't know why everyone thinks Gildarts is going to come back with a massive power increase. I don't think you guys understand that Gildarts is a benchmark character which means that he will be eventually surpassed by the younger characters. Him going on quests doesn't automatically make him stronger. It might give him more experience and sharpen his skills a little but it doesn't mean he will he will grow way stronger and besides he's not even on one of those quests he is just traveling around the world so he doesn't have to take care of his responsibilities back at the guild.
