If you are not interested in the turtle, if you do not care about the item... Why complain about it? We are not here to convince you to play if you do not want to. Solutions were given to you - either do it once or suck it up and stop complaining.
Just fyi - in ff every player is forced into group content, and it is not raiding. It is mandatory to finish the story. Anet actually is trying to get people into different types of content, which is a good thing. In other games it is standard to lock mounts behind group content.
No offense, but you are throwing a tantrum and rejecting any solution and advice given to you. If you made a post asking to simply get carried, you would have had your turtle there and then.
