Does anyone still actually buy these? I checked today to see what was for sale for the first time in over a month, wondered why I bothered, and moved along.

If you want a premium pilot, or don't already have pilots.

I bought pilots as I got bots. and accepted the ones I got from events.

You can do ads now for pilot selection re-rolls. I just check for anything good when I can remember to hit the other tab on daily deals. It's not something you want to go to when looking for a legendary pilot for a specific bot you just won or workshopped though because the odds of getting that exact one are terrible. But if you've got some spare Au then it doesn't hurt checking to see if a valuable one is in there for future builds.

Yeah, it's still used. If a casual player hasn't gotten all the way through OPs and isn't racking up Special Delivery Legendaries, then how else are you supposed to get Pilots? Anytime I get a new bot I get a Pilot for it.

I keep 'winning' the same regular pilot from OPS. I have four of the blue-haired Asian chick. I don't mind, but it just seems kind of weird.

If done correctly, purchasing promoted pilots can save Au. Depends on the pilots one already has but the higher ranked pilots can be acquired. I was able to get a level 1 Captain at 4500 Au. Seems like a lot but the cost would be 20 % more if starting a pilot at Private then promoting.
You can get a fully leveled captain at level 50 for 8500 Au (I think).

Legendary Pilots are always going to be expensive. I need a leech and a second Phantom pilot. Pilots are very important for that buff to push you over the edge in Champion rank. You can turn a Phantom from a chump to a champ.

The Phantom pilot will add 3 seconds to the ability timer. 15 -> 18 seconds. I like it but do not think it is an absolute requirement for the bot.
