They have clearly not seen what earth has to offer. One of the big reasons I go hiking and like to ridge walk the top of mountains is because it is absolutely breathtaking. Maybe these people need to get their asses off their couches and actually visit the world they live on.

But this wasn't the whole issue with a lot of people. Many of them were depressed about the impossibility of the everyday lives of the Na'vi. They long to live like the Na'vi, not see some breathtaking vista a few miles outside of a tourist trap on a week-long vacation once a year.
