If you had a lot of tables in your database that had indexes that started WA_SYS_ would this mean that the index design is not up to scratch? I understand these WA_SYS_ indexes to be indexes that have been created by the system because of a lack of correct indexes, does this sound about right?
 
Those are not actually indexes - they are statistics. SQL Server creates these automatically by default and having them on columns does not necessarily mean you need an index on that column.
