Depnds on how you bot them, I've had two accounts make it to 99 this week. Both of them botted 21 hours a day one of them got banned today, other one with 99 still going strong 15M+ XP.
Okay. So you said "I wasted like 60 dollars overall trying to get a good goldfarming method" - How hell do you consider F2P yews a good goldfarming method? Excuse me, but exspecting a woodcutting goldfarm to succeed in todays state of botting is just pure insanity.
Since I entered the botting scene in 2008, I've pocketed well over $10K total. Never had a call, a letter or anything concerning taxes from that extra income and I live in Denmark.
