Augs are cool because... well say you put in all kinds of time to get your epic. A lot of them become replaced by Velious.

If augs were around, they could have put in a mini "1.5" quest to get an aug that would fit in the epic to upgrade it, keeping them relevant.

Its an inherit problem with any sort of epic weapon and any future content.
You essentially only have 2 options:
a) Your epic will become obsolete. period. Which will undermine entire gigantic quest that will take 6-12 month to complete.
or
b) if your epic can be continuously upgraded with each new expansion - then all new weapon drops are useless. Why have them when your epic will always be better?
Even if you approach this with "epics are for hard core raiders while dropped weapons are for casuals", it still sucks to be permanently locked into using the same weapon over and over again - all the other weapons and weapon types and weapon skills - they all become meaningless.
IMHO, while cool in concept, epic quests for epic weapons are BAD for an MMO that looks to add more content beyond the expansion in which epics were introduced.
Otherwise this will happen over and over again:
