Then why does this spell exist, you fucking jackass?

Ugh, I know, right? How do so many GM's fail to grasp that not all difficulties classify as a valiant struggle. Just because the GM makes your life hard, doesn't mean it's an inherently good thing for the game. Too many of them get trapped in a juvenile headspace of "I can make this so COOL by fucking with them!" And it's 99% not fun zone

I feel like OP didn't bother to read the rules before deciding to make up a story about a thing that might happen in a D&D game.

The whole "you can't take off the cursed item" always seemed a bit dumb to me.
How about instead making cursed shit more powerful than non-cursed shit, but with heavy drawbacks.
Like a Greatsword that strikes true (+x to hit and damage), but every person you kill with it reduces your strength by one, permanently.
Though I can think of a few ways to game that mechanic, it is just an example.
Hell, maybe it's a good thing that curses have loopholes, to reward the players for being smart?

Tell the group OOC that my bard still knows vicious mockery and even though it's 1d4 it'll at least help out a tiny bit

It was just a passing idea and I didn't care too much one way or the other but it baffled me that they all thought it was a bad idea

Just because you have a totally legit reason to think you will won't get caught, doesn't mean anything.
Ask every criminal ever filmed on a Dumbest Criminals show.
You have to weigh the benefits versus the risk.
Violating the rules of a fight between giants that's important enough for you to want to cheat vs. 1d4 damage to a giant
Your party was right.
