I find one of the most annoying features of BD to be that if you miss by just a little bit trying to move your team you may aggro every frog in the multiverse. And then they all croak.
So I mostly go out of combat mode in many areas and move in peace mode - switching back and forth is almost as annoying as killing those thousands of frogs - but not quite (it isn't just frogs, of course, you can hostile so MANY types of entities).
