The war had been going on for 100 years. These guys are probably in their 60s. They have lived their whole lives only knowing war. Previous avatars spent years perfecting each element and at a more mature age then Aang. As members of the white lotus, I’d imagine they knew how the Avatars were supposed to train. When a 12 year old kid shows up at your doorstep and wants to master your specific element and way of life in a few months, I’d be a little taken back too. They have lived long lives during war. They probably didn’t feel too rushed to train Aang.
