It's not just plot points, it's locations, character looks, sets, costumes, shots, dialogue.  I don't even want to see pictures. I wish I hadn't seen the first two trailers. Honestly, if I could have walked in knowing ONLY that it was Star Wars Episode VII, that would have been ideal. As is, all though I've avoided a lot, I still feel like the mystery of what happens 30 years after Return of the Jedi is sort of gone, which is a little disappointing. I was hoping to go into the movie knowing nothing at all but that just ended up not being possible (damn this franchise for being so popular!).

I've become resilient because I started to really tire of having trailers spoil. Of course it's not just spoiling, it'd be like I'm watching the film and I'll wonder when a scene I saw in the trailer will show up. Just found that really annoying. Avoiding Star Wars stuff is especially hard because it's Star Wars. I read the junior novelization of ROTS before I saw it which was probably my peak spoiling a movie before seeing it. Hopefully I haven't spoiled TFA too much for myself already. 

I'll be cutting down on my internet usage soon. Once it gets closer to the release of the film some serious spoils are going to get out. I can wait two months. I've already waited just about my entire life.
