The problem is not that they cost too much across the board, it is that the costs go up faster than the SP they cover.
The exponential rate of SP stored on the clone is about 1.3, a 30% increase from each clone grade to the next (compounding). But the exponential cost increase is much higher. It starts around 1.4 but goes up past 1.5 around midway, and goes back down towards the top.
The clone grade Omega costs 11.5 times as much per skillpoint as does the clone grade Beta.
New players who don't know how to make money can easily pay for their med clones with some excess ISK they accidentally made shooting a couple of highsec belt rats. Now I do feel that new pilots should have cheap med clones so they can go die several times and learn how to PVP, but also the price should be enough for them to feel it. That way it won't come as a surprise later when med clones start costing ISK.
Middle-aged players like me have a pretty fair med clone cost. I'm at clone grade Rho, and while the cost of my med clones is annoying, it serves to make me think twice before flying blindly into a suicide fight and also encourages me to fly something that cost more than pocket lint. I'm not a baby pilot anymore, this is how it should be.
But older players have to pay out an arm and a leg just to cover the med clone. It's extortion, and makes a lot of them not want to play as much. We need them in our fleets!!

Only Bullies like POD killing, and if you think otherwise, you are a bully! It's not always bullying. What about in a huge nullsec battle inside a bubble? People could ignore the pods and just keep killing ships, but they don't. You know why? Because nobody likes slowboating home through nullsec in a capsule. When we go out there to fight, we are meeting adversarial associates, not enemies. We are friends outside of politics. We care about each other. We want the other side to have fun and they want the same for us. Podding everyone is a common courtesy, a sign of valour. The factions who practice basic chivalry such as podding everyone in big fleet fights are the most respected.

Capsules should have 10m signature radius. That would help fix the problem of people with slower connections not being able to warp off before getting locked, and would also possibly make more use for sensor boosters.
