In another popular MMORPG, World of Warcraft, the Alliance quest hub for the Battle for Azeroth was in the port city of Boralus. And the Alliance flagship docked there was important to get to on a regular basis. Before flying was able to be unlocked, you would be riding right at the ship as you came to some stairs. Just beyond the stairs was a wooden platform. Naturally, players tried to jump to that platform, generally to miss and have to go down over, up, and over to get to that platform.
So a dev saw this and added a couple of wooden planks to make it possible to jump every time and go quickly onto the deck of the ship.
When you see me described something as a two-planker, it means that a solution or feature already has a lot of the needed components already in the game. No need to build it from scratch. Of course, something might be a bit more complicated than adding two wooden planks, but the gist is that the game's existing state has a good head start toward whatever it is I'm suggesting.
