So I was logging for the first time and got really good logs but when I tried uploading it said:“Warning: Advanced Combat Logging is not enabled. Combat Replay will be non-functional. This log will also be ineligible for rankings.”
Since I got really nice ranks and I doesnt look like anybody else was logging I was wondering if there was any way to get those logs for rankings or are they just lost?
Was it just my bad for not knowing and I have to try again next week?

Try again next week. Non-advanced logs aren’t very accurate and are missing critical information like gear, talents and item level that are needed to rank properly.
