Are you actually comparing having a 450 gold, 1000 year old mage in a fantasy world strap a slave collar on his neck because "it seemed like a good idea at the time" with a military tactic that has been used repeatedly throughout earth's history?
Cursed items, good and bad, should have a 100% no pick up rate.

Well, there is a large amount of fantasy literature where cursed items actually try to get people to pick them up or use them. Obviously the One Ring, but also Stormbringer, a book in one of the Harry Potter novels, etc.
Most of these abusive tactics pretty much pale in comparison to the strategy of ganging up on a weaker/equivalent nation through NAPs and secret alliances. (Which I've done in the past, but I have now come to see the error of my ways
).
