@NoNickNeeded 3 problems

First. Ultear is not happy. The smile after the GMG was forced. We can see that after Dimaria got defeated, that Ultear is all alone and wishing her life looked differently. This not how a content person behaves. I wonder if you or anyone else reading this would be happy if almost all his life got stolen, taken for granted by the ones you dedicated your life for, left alone to yourself.

Second. Ultear guildmates were nothing but a bunch of scrubs that you can't rely on.

Third. The biggest problem is how fake this manga is. On one side we have Gray that whenever he wants to sacrifice his life, there is always someone that will stop him and give him the usual speach about living, friends, family and so on. Even Ur herself will ready to appear in Gray conscience to tell him to stop. When Ultear does it she is left to herself. No friends, no family, no one to stop her and remind of the main morals of the manga.

From the begining of the story all those big words about Nakama are being hammered into us, but they are all empty slogans. They only apply to the main characters and when it is convinient for them. Used only to give an excuse for a BS power ups or to pander to the shippers.

Gray is determined to sacrifice his life for his friends and the readers are supposed to think it is wrong and that this is not the right thing to go. Ultear does the same and all of the story morals go outside the window. Ultear is encouraged to throw her life away and that dying for the ones you love is the right thing to do. And we are supposed to believe that she is happier this way (problem 1). In a manga that is supposed to teach about the importance of friends and family in ones life, and to continue living despite all; a character that lives alone with regret without anyone around, after she tried to throw her life away and lost nearly all her time in the process, really stands out. But everyone around is fine with it, so the readers think it is how it should be. Only what does it tell about Ultears friends (I already know what it tells - problem 2).

Everyone's life has a meaning (another one of Mashima fake morals), but the meaning of some is only to be a collateral when the author wants to write some pointless false drama and needs a tool to bring a main character back.

The morals in Fairy Tail are worth shit. Gray, Erza, Natsu are in trouble or are about to sacrifice themselves - write some Nakama crap. Ultear is about to sacrifice her life - let her do it and forget about her. Jellal is about to die for Erza - write more Nakama crap, because Erza waifu needs a husbando. Juvia is dying - get Wendy there from the other side of the battlefield and write some Nakama crap. Irene is bleeding out right next to Wendy - nope, Erza doesn't need any one else so let her die. And so on.
