Yeah, this sounds like it's working as intended then (for now). Read some real-time discussions the devs were casually having with the public about this a couple days ago on their discord channel and this sounds like the desired behavior.

Yeah. I get the reasoning behind it. Though I wish there were more engaging ways to have siege traps that waste resources like the spikes do. Another concern is how easily a solo player can be overwhelmed by the hoard size. I know the focus on the game is multiplayer but I really wish the size and composition of raids and mob patrols would scale to the number of players and not just their hp and damage output
