Hi guys I was wondering that that when ether spiked it caused very big gas congestion problems that lead to very high high fees for swap and also withdrawals. And when we heard news about ether merge 2.0 many members were saying that it might get very cheaper withdrawals fees and still I think that's not the case with Ethereum and that is not good for snallers volume traders.
Perhaps you didn't read the most common misconception about the ETH merge.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/the-merge-top-5-misconceptions-about-the-anticipated-ethereum-upgradeMisconception 1: Ethereum gas fees will reduce after The Merge
Ethereum’s impending upgrade will reduce Ethereum’s infamous gas fees (transaction fees) is one of the biggest misconceptions circulating among investors. While reduced gas fees top every investor’s wishlist, The Merge is a change of consensus mechanism that will transition the Ethereum blockchain from PoW to proof-of-stake (PoS).
Many uninformed think that this merge is done to fix the scalability and gas fee of ETH so they got disappointed when the gas fee doesn't change. If they only read the roadmap and different article that explains about the merger, they will find out that merger is the initial phase of the update to accommodate further upgrade of the ETH network. Scalability and gas fees will be fix when sharding is implemented.
So there will be no cheaper transaction after the merge, but in any case, as others have said it is still quite cheap and so we don't know what is your complain here.
Probably he had transfered some of his ETH asset during the peak time or probably he transfer them from an exchange that hasn't adjusted its processing fee yet.
