Do Garrison Followers need to be leveled at the same rate?
I've started acquiring several level 90 Garrison followers. I have noticed that my Garrison quests are 92-93 and the followers have little chance to complete the missions. Should I level them at the same rate? Will new followers be given at level 94 (for example) or do they all start at 90? If they all start at 90 do I ever get Garrison quests that will match their level or will I just have a really low percentage chance to complete the quests?

do I ever get Garrison quests that will match their level
Yes, lower level missions will be generated.
Example: I have only level 98-100 followers and I get a new level 90 follower. At the first visit to the mission table, there probably won't be any level 90 missions. Tomorrow, there probably will be a level 90 mission as long as I have cleared some missions out.
Should I level them at the same rate?
If you want to successfully do group missions while leveling, you should prioritize leveling lower level followers and avoid leveling your top followers.
If you just want to rush to get the best missions unlocked, focus on leveling top followers(however, your odds of completing those missions will be low without a good team of followers).
What else should I know mechanically?
There are three possible ways for a follower to relate to a mission:
- Qualified (green): at level or better. Contributes fully to mission success and gets 100% of follower xp mission reward.
- Under qualified (orange) : 1 or 2 levels below the mission. Contributes less to mission success. Gets 50% of follower xp mission reward.
- Way under qualified (red) : more levels below the mission. Does not contribute to mission success. Gets 10% of follower xp mission reward.
