How much wealth a monster has?

As much as its hit dice + ECL modifier as level would suggest for a player character of that given level?
Same with NPC levels?
As much as it is normal reward for a challange with that given CR?

As you see, you have 3 rules for the same thing, and the game rules forces an IC difference based on OOC conditions: PC - NPC - Monster. I think mixing IC and OOC conditions and making them interact in such way isn't roleplaying.

You seen our article about purpose of d20 system? I think that can explain it well enough: d20 system had these problems as planned features / goals. Even DMG tells you a lot about this.
