I literally use an external monitor. The problem is that the cursor turns from an arrow into a hand when you hover above the frog buton but that space extends far above the picture of the frog. It misleads you into thinking you are clicking the "participate" buton and then you accidentally click frog.

Level freezing is a valid strategy and it's not playing "half the game." The plot instances are honestly the most boring part of the game anyway, they're not missing out on much other than some of the upgrading materials that drop from them.

Just because people don't play the game the same way as you does not make their opinion less worthy.
