In playing 85 or 86 era in 1e I had a Fighter and a MU who both got wishes. Both came from rings. Can't recall if I ever used them. I gave them out once adn awhile in a dragonlance 2e campagin. I wasn't twisted so never made them bad, but the players didn't use them for game breaking things either. Again nothing really comes to mind as for what was wished for mostly just minor things or a specific magic item.In a later 2e campagin we got a Deck of Many things and one guy got a couple wishes. We knew the DM was going to screw us so they were written in legalise and were relatively minor. If fun is the whole part of the game and players want to have fun and not unbalance the game I never thought that trying to twist the wishes into something the PCs would regret was fun. Weather as a player or a DM. It was out of character for a fighter to come up with leaglise but he didn't want his character screwed, and I always kind of thought of the DM as like in the cartoon where he would try to help the PC's not screw them over.</blockquote>
