I heard that it would work like WoW's system.

confirm/deny?

Not really, they're referred to by the masses as "auto-stats". Meaning every level your base stats automatically grow. There will still obviously be ways to customize your stats through various systems though. Itemization being one of them. And some other stuff. So yes you will be able to customize your stats, but it won't be by gaining a number to distribute every level and pumping them into the base stats directly.
