What determines the amount of cash gained or lost when winning or losing an attack against against another player? How about against a turf?
This is explained in neither the in-game help nor the TW wiki. I've seen a decent number of fights, and I have my theories, but I'm wondering if anyone can answer my question definitively. One thing I'm certain of is that there are multiple variables involved in this formula.

I've never seen an answer to this question.

I've noticed mob size and their cash on hand to be factors, but beyond those I'm not sure

One time I took 68k in one fight
Seeing as how they had a 6000 mob
(twice as big as mine)
I saw mob count has a big thing to do with it

Strangely I only get 37k from you. How much on hand?

Not really. I get the most money (around $70k) from an inactive player with just over 1k mob & about 20 turf.

I get same results from certain inactives. Bonus is that they don't complain about it.

One readily apparent variable is the number of times a player is attacked or defends within a particular time frame. That's as specific as I can be.
I suspect level plays a role as well, but I don't pay enough attention to what level players are when I attack or defend to say this with much confidence.

I'm talking about before the money drops off. It starts dropping at the 8th attack (in 24 hours). On the 13th attack you won't get any more money (& have to wait 36 hours for it to reset).

Interesting. Was this observed from attacks on a player or turf?
Attacks on players and turf might have separate "cool-down" times. I tried attacking a player once and the cash started to drop off. When I attacked his turf, i was making as much cash as when I first attacked the player.

@bfong, I've done both. I've never noticed a difference when switching from a player to turf or vice versa.

I think it's a percentage of how much money they have

I don't think it has a lot, if anything, to do with total money. An inactive I sometimes attack for cash has over $2 billion and the most I've gotten is $50k +/- but I could be wrong as mystery said.

If someone would be willing to help, I could conduct some tests...

If you do this, keep in mind that the player losing money loses more money than the other player wins. The don always takes a cut.
