For the love of god USE PARAGRAPHS next time PLEASE! Just writing everything into a single blob makes it so much harder to read. But now on to the content:

I never bash Lucy! I only bash Mashima for reducing that awesome character that Lucy should be to a fan-service tool, commentator and damsel in distress for others to rescue >:| Or he stopped the great growth and character development she had throughout the series stopped at the beginning of the GMG.

I don't think Lucy is stronger than the others of her team YET. But considering how long they (8+ years each of them) and how long Lucy (about 1/2 a year as member of FT + 1 !!potential!! year after running from home) all were mages, it's clear that Lucy grew far faster than anyone else and could possibly outgrow them in one or two more years on power alone. And that's not even taking her greater intellect into account.

Let's face it. Except for their occasional bouts of insight the other members of the team are dense idiots who just charge straight in without thinking. Only when the direct assault doesn't work are they reluctantly forced into coming up with something resembling a strategy. It should be a sure way to doom, but thanks to a combination of great power and nakama-power-ups it still works out in the end somehow.

In short: While you over-exaggerated in your fanboying/-girling, I still agree with you that Lucy is one of the best characters in the series and should be treated better, by Mashima and the readers.

And I don't think we can count Dragon Slayer Magic as rare anymore. With the possible exception of telepathy and transformation magic (though I'd have to check to be sure) DS Magic has the most users throughout the series by now. If God Slayeing Magic turned out to be a "Dragon-less varient" of the same basic principles, it would be the undisputed most-used-magic for sure.
