PlacementWeights

Remarks

⚠ A .vxplacement asset a game authors, not constants the engine ships. The defaults below are Guild Wars 2's shape and are a starting point rather than an answer: a battleground wants fill to dominate, a social hub wants locale to, and neither is something an engine can know. What the engine owns is that the terms exist and that the scoring is total and deterministic whatever they are set to.

Why the party term is four times everything else put together. It is not a preference, it is the mechanism: "join your friend's instance" is doc 27's own list of Guild Wars 2 properties, and it falls out of placement rather than being a feature beside it. A party pull that could lose to a full guild would be a separate join mechanism waiting to be written.
