I recently started back into WoW classics and I thought I remember a time when you could actually chose which attribute points to raise each level. This may have been in the beta or I may be losing my mind 
Does anyone else remember this? I thought it was removed because players were choosing the wrong attributes upon leveling.
No, that wasn’t a thing. Just with talent points. It may have been a beta thing but I’ve never heard of it in this game. Ragnarok Online and FFXIV (used to) have it.
You mean talent points?
You get to choose your talent points manually in Classic starting at level 10. You get one point for each level.
D2 has that, maybe you mixed up the two games.

WoW beta had you level up things like weapon skill each level I think. You put points into defense, daggers, etc.
I might be totally wrong though, I never played the Beta
As I recall the beta had a very different skill/stat system early on where you got points to assign with each level.
But that was changed for the system we have in Classic where your stats automatically increase with each level and you get 1 talent per level starting at level 10.

Stats are fixed for your race/class. You can only change it with gear/talents.
You might be thinking of a different game.
I recall seeing some early screenshots and you were able to distribute points into the main stats, resistances, stuff like crit/hit/def/dodge and so on. It’s sad that the system was taken out.
Manual attribute point allocation wasn’t a thing in Vanilla WoW. That was a Diablo 1 & 2 mechanic.
You’re probably thinking of Diablo 2
that was a very early version of the beta.
You want to make sure to use your skills enough to get the max amount of stat points per level
For example, if you want to raise int, keep using level 1 spells over and over. Even if it says you leveled, you can choose not to rest and that will give you time to use your spell skills enough to get +5 int points on your next level up
I always play as stealther archer tho, so my major skills are light armor, archery and sneak
Matrix online had that.
Maybe thinking of EQ?

Yes but this was during the Beta. You can find videos talking about it on Youtube.
