Increase base movement speed by 14%.
With each groupmember, reduce that by 2% movement speed.
solo - 14% faster
2 - 12% faster
3 - 10% faster
4 - 8% faster
5 - 6% faster
6 - 4% faster
7 - 2% faster
8 - original speed like in the current patch
Assuming speed 6, this gives groups with smaller sizes the choice whether they want to engage or not. That way small groups can always flee and prevent being farmed by simply being outnumbered.
In contrast to all those other suggestions which aim at helping smallmen and solos, this might be an elegant way of protecting smaller groups from larger groups without disrupting overall gameplay.
This can even be justified roleplay-wise to some extent: larger groups are more difficult to coordinate, so they move a bit slower.
