Dungeon Lock Out Unfair. Anything being done?

I understand if you haven't downed Turn 1 but downed Turn 2 you are locked out from 1.
While I think that is ridiculous,thats not my issue.

I have been trying to down Turn 2 all week since my static group didn't form this week.
I tried 3 different groups,I got turn 1 down but never 2. My free company asked me to go to Turn 4 with them. We did not down turn 4 but now I am locked out of Turn 2. Why?
How is that fair that I now miss out on a chance to get loot for the week because I wanted to attempt Turn 4 with my FC. I could understand if we downed turn 4 and I couldnt go backwards but like i said even that is ridiculous...

If you haven't finished Turn 1 or 2 but attempted 4 without downing it,you should NOT be locked out of 1 and 2.
Now I lose a chance to get gear from turn 2.

That's your own fault for going into turn 4, however I feel the lockout mechanics of dungeons should be explained in a much better fashion than they currently are.

No where does it say if you haven't cleared Turn 2 but attempt Turn 4 without downing it that you can't go back. There is zero warning.
How was I suppose to know I would be locked out from attempting it? This should not be a thing.

It's been stated multiple times on every form of communication with FFXIV that if you go to a turn that's already progressed more than yours that you'll be saved instantly. Devs have said it, blogs have said it, numerous posts complaining about it here have said it, it's been said on Reddit heaps of times and the list just goes on.
Sure I'll agree that it's not how it always is with MMOs but it's how SE wanted to design their game. You CHOSE to go to Turn 4 without the proper knowledge of this games Raid Lockout System, now you'll reap what you sowed.

I think they need to add a pop-up box to warn people if they'll be saved to a Turn where the previous turn hasn't been cleared in their save or something.

Actually, it says it when you hand in the coil quest the first time. Your chat would've been spammed with it.

Even party members who have not progressed as far as the party leader may participate, provided they meet the entry requirements.
In this case, their progress will be updated to the same as that of the leader.
Please note, however, that parties whos members have progress further than the party leader cannot resume a foray.

Ring any bells?

Should be why Bahamut Coils isn't in the duty finder...
