Short and quick. No they shouldn't bring it back exactly how it was. Im ok with a system where you are granted, say, 10 points per level, 9 are spent automatically and one you can choose where to spend it. Meaning by the time you hit level 50 you would be given 50 points to spend.

If they use that system, they should still enforce a cap, so you can't spend 50 points in STR alone
