I get where you're going with things, but the earlier discussion from tens of pages ago was instead conveyed in a tone along the lines of "I've played many gacha games, there is no meta." Which clearly isn't a meta talk. Although maths and the abundance of guides online have proven otherwise.
Alright, cos I remember when you chipped in that time it was when were talking about that.
So you were perhaps referring to someone else then yes, gacha games do have META.

The part about Whale I mentioned is just that, unfortunately many of us do not get to play with META, so we just "META" with what we have Me Eula Tak Ada.
About Gacha games - I never saw Genshin as Gacha games, same with other games like Arknights and whatever that has lootboxes / lucky draw. Strangely how any game that has lucky draw is automatically called gacha games though.
