You think so, of all four main characters Gray seems to get less and less relevant and he can't seem to get more character development (something i read in Japanese forums).

Natsu - Main character, life before meeting Igneel (unknown). Lucy - Main heroin can't be killed. Erza - Born in Rosemary (family unknown), captured and sent to the TOH, eventually escaped and joined Fairy Tail. Gray - Born in a village at the north, parents killed by Deliora, trained under Ur with Lyon, Ur sacrificed herself to save him, Gray joined Fairy Tail. Basically he doesn't seem to have anything that can put him as important anymore. In the beginning, yeah maybe since he is Natsu's rival but now, Natsu is clearly stronger than Gray.

Basically of all the four mains only Natsu and Erza can still get some character development.
