I often get to see players that always want a reward for a quest or a battle, would it be gold or items. They usually try to get the most money out of someone who is giving them a quest, even if their characters are Good. Here is how it goes commonly:
Me (Playing an old lord) : "Adventurers! I have called you on this day to help me with a task of the utmost importance! My daughter is being held captive by Lord McBaddy! Please! Help me get her out of her custody! I will give you one of my family's heritage as a reward.
Player 1 (A knight) : We shall save you daughter, old man! by my hand will thee Lord McBaddy fall!
Player 2 (A priest) : Can you talk a bit more about who is that Lord McBaddy?
Player 3 (A ranger) : Come on! The life of your daughter is worth more than that, give us at least 2000 gp extra and we'll do the job.
My true problem is that these players try to amass a giant wealth without ever using it. They even, sometimes, complain about their character, thinking that they are underpowered while not willing to buy anything powerful. They may ruin relations too, asking a kind guy for a lot of money is not always well seen.
These players also tend to forget about the roleplay and focus more on their personal possessions and on ways to exploit the system to get more money.
A bit of "My guy" syndrome may go with it when some players say that "My character is greedy, that's why he always want money and doesn't want to spend it."
What should I do to get those players more into the roleplay or counter the side-effects for the rest of the group?
