Haters did not just simply ignore this existence. What those type of haters want to see is lucy fighting someone very strong and her battle plays a very important role to the arc. As for the treasure hunters, they are quite weak as an opponent. It does not even matter whether if she loses or not. But now after timeskip, haters see that lucy is as useless as macao and wakaba. Her role as a main character is to take out foot soldiers and say natsu help me and simply comment on natsu's fight. I used to be that kind of hater before I dropped the series, so I know.
