Well, keep in mind that they are unlikely to put out content that requires the players to be mind-controlled slaves of the well (hence no "short path" for us). And Cole may be/appears to be the only incarnate in praetoria with his henchmen being given excess power as part of what the well gives him, not via them becoming incarnates.|

Thus, the lore is somewhat against players ever joining Cole at this level. That said, the Devs have control over lore and can write anything they want into it. I'd certainly be interested to see something like this, but I strongly doubt it will come to pass. Especially with so many people for so many years complaining about villain side making you a servant of arachnos when they wanted to be a villain on their own -- back-stepping and just replacing arachnos with cole seems the exact opposite of the current trend for story arcs. This is true whether you think such a proposition would be heroic or villainous.
I really don't see it happening.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

While that's a good point, the devs can and will do what whatever they want - I'm not the first to feel like the whole Well thing was a step back to the lackey-ness of redside.

Cole is trying to destroy/take over/enslave Primal Earth. The Resistance are trying to fight against him. Basically, if you started as a Loyalist, you were on the wrong side, according to current story lore. It would take quite a plot twist for the devs to justify us fighting against the Resistance.

What a waste....
