So i find in allot of games recently that i have people who sit in fountain waiting for gold for that next item but they sit there so long i think there afk when we really need them. so my question to you is "how much gold is acceptable to wait on?" i personally wont wait for over 30

Totally depends...if you are Amumu and you need 60 gold to complete item 3157 and drag is up in 45 seconds you better wait. You know you are going to be diving the entire team and without the item 3157 active you will certainly die.

tldr; depends on situation

the highest amount of gold i'll wait for is ~50 gold. Early on its usually unacceptable to wait for more than 10 gold because you miss so much exp/creepgold that it isnt worth it. Later in the game ill wait longer because usually all lanes are pushed/jungle cleared so there arent many opportunities to get gold outside of teamfighting, but i''d rather wait 20 seconds for my Frozen Heart and then teamfight instead of get into a fight without a core item and pick it up once i respawn

There's no hard set rule for how long you should wait for gold. If they are pushing deep into your side of the map you probably shouldn't wait at all. If they are defending their base and not pushing you can wait quite awhile. It all depends.

If I'm suppot, and I already have a higher Gp10, I'll wait for no more than ≈75.

Otherwise, ≈50 is a good rule unless you need an important advanced/legendary/mythical item upgrade - in which case you can wait for around ≈80.
