Using the map, I’m estimating that Lindon and Rivendell cover an area of (50,000x18,000) 9,000,000,000 blocks. Pretty simple math here, in a purely lore world, High Elven Warriors should on average spawn once every (9,000,000,000/1,350) 6,670,000 blocks, this is not even taking into account invasions and hired units. Ithilion estimates that there were approximately 560 Rangers of the North (Or battle ready Dunedain of the North.) The area that Rangers can spawn covers roughly (60,000,00x20,000) 120,000,000,000 blocks. In a purely lore-based world, rangers on average would spawn once every (120,000,000,000/560) 214,000,000 blocks in the places they currently spawn, again not even taking into account invasion and hiring. If rangers and High Elves should be buffed because “lore trumps gameplay,” than I would expect their spawning to be made more lore-friendly as well. I agree that the spawning should be more lore-friendly, but there is an over-abundance of orcs as well.

Seriously, I don't think the Lone-Lands would have 1 orc every 50 blocks. The Lone-Lands are a huge expanse of land, and I doubt it had millions upon millions of orcs.
