I feel like I have to say something here. @Himeyuka, it doesn't change the fact she still did more than either of them, whether you consider them successful or not comes from people's own perspectives.

In the end of the day she did save Percy and Jason from killing each other. Like Dark said, if Piper wasn't there, they would probably fight until exhaustion or until one of them is killed. That would jeopardise the whole quest, not only that, the fact that they would still be possessed by the Eidolons would be huge threat towards the other demigods.

On the ship, Piper, was the only one who had the right skills to find out if the Eidolons are still possessing the demigods. No one else could have figured that out, not even Annabeth or even Hazel. And anyways you can't expect Piper to know if they were gonna attack Leo, Frank and Hazel again at the museum by possessing other people.

With the Hercule's quest, it was Piper who completed it and saved Jason from drowning in the lake. She was the one who ended cutting up the horn from the can't-remember-the -name monster and came up with a way to defy Hercules so they could escape.

And finally she saved both Percy and Jason again at the chamber where they both could have drowned from the curse water. It was her idea again, that came up with away to disperse the curse and to work together with the horn thing.

Look, I admit i'm not really a fan of Piper, especially her relationship with Jason. (Jason/Reyna is better). But doesn't mean I don't acknowledge the things she has done. For the amount of hate for her, I feel there should be some credit where its due for the things she has done so far and not turn a blind eye to that. Sorry for the long post.
