Clone price is fine. Don't fly ships that cost less than your clone or if you fly frigates then make an alt in spare slot. You can max frigate skills in few months just fine and have dirt cheap clone.
The new anomalies are outright fountain of isk so while I will feel my pod losses they are relatively minor irritation if you can do 90 m/h in liquid isk grinding L5 anoms.
I will not cry ofc when higher end clones would get cheaper, but it's not a problem if they do not.

People keep spouting this nonsense. I bet you can't find a single pvp ship that has less than 20M sp applying to it, save maybe no-propulsion single weapon system no-tank ships. Even if you could, some people actually like flying with their mains instead of some random alt.
My alts are not random, they are specialized. Only jack - of - all - trades is my main, this character. I will move in month or two into 30 mil clones that will be good for up to approx 112 mil SP. Properly fitted interceptor or AF cost 30+ mil easily. And nothing stops me flying T1 frigate if I so desire, clones will cost a bit but meh, at that amount of SP you can easily do 30 mil isk. Implants you plug into your head are not part of your 'clone cost' btw. You can blow billion on them as easily in medical clone that is worth 500 000 isk as you can in one that is 30 mil. If you can't afford them then yes - you should not fly ships that blow up on regular basis in locations where you get propably podded if your ship pops.

ever hear of hulkageddon?
Miners and other carebears lose their pods constantly, due to the fact they dont know to spam on the warp button as soon as you are going down(or in the process of). As for 0.0 pilots: Tough break. You knew the dynamic of joining up in hostile areas where tech can keep you interdicted. If you have a constant problem of losing a pod in a nullsec fleet, maybe you shouldnt fly the shinest ship on the field that catches the enemy FC's eye if you arent willing to take the risk of dying. If its becoming a constant problem, maybe your alliance isn't doing it right?
In short: stop crying, rat for about 10-20 minutes, get your ISK, pay the man, do something awesome/stupid that gets you podded, rinse and repeat.
It's worth pointing out tho, that price of medical clone is propably negliable compared to the loss in hardwires if one loses it's carebear clone that occasionaly has high grade pirate sets on top of their headful of 5% or in extreme cases even occasional 7-8% COSMOS hardwire. More often tho just headful of +5 and 5% ones. Still few bil right there.
