Monks carry what they need. That was the intent during live eq in the RPG fashion.
I typically give my gold/copper/silver to group members, or newbies I run past. Even at lvl 60 I have to watch my fat monk.
You have to balance out what you desire your monk to be. A semi tank/dps? A tank? Or just pure dps.
If you are pure dps, you have the heavier weapons, a fatter monk, with lower ac.
If you want to tank, you have to pick and choose hps/ac over dps/bags of loot.
This is generally why all monks go for weightless bags off dragons/and Tinker Bags. So they can carry around stuff.
So in essence, yes you as a monk have to choose what you use.
