WFFM Rule Section Is Missing

Question

The Rule section in WFFM is missing. I did some research and changed the Xdb.Tracking.Enabled to true <setting name="Xdb.Tracking.Enabled" value="true" />. It worked and i am able to see the Rule section but now the site is down :) and throwing the exception.

The client does not have xDB and we just need a way to enable the rule section in WFFM and the Sitecore version 8.2 rev. 170407 (Update-3).

Any idea? Thanks,
